Cadillac Ranch
by Bruce Springsteen
from Plain Dirt Fashion

Well there she sits buddy just a-gleaming in the sun, right
There to greet a working man when his day is done
I'm gonna pack my pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt,
I'm gonna take them down to the Cadillac Ranch.

El Dorado fins, whitewalls and skirts;
Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth.
Well buddy, when I die throw my body in the back,
And drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac.

Cadillac, Cadillac,
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines let `em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

James Dean in that Mercury `49
Junior Johnson runnin' through the woods of Caroline
Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans Am
All gonna meet down at the Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let 'em roar
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur

Hey little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Drivin' all alone through the Colorado night
You're my last love, baby, you're my last chance
Don't let `em take me to the Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac...
Long and dark, shiny and black;
Open up them engines, let 'em roar;
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur
