Lyrics
Cadillac Dreams (Dave Cheetham)
VERSE 1
Do you remember back in high school
When we were kids just fumbling through our teens
Those lazy summer days out by that old pool
Skimming stones and swimming out across that stream
We'd sit talking bout our plans for the future
All cars we'd drive and all the sights we'd see
CHORUS
Cadillac dreams, cadillac dreams
Those endless days of blue skies and blue jeans
Cadillac dreams, cadillac dreams
Promise me you'll never stop believing in our cadillac dreams
VERSE 2
Now you're sitting here beside me on that barstool
Filling in the gaps from more than twenty years
You tell me how he hit you he was so cruel
Now he's left you here with nothing but your tears
Then I lean a little closer like I used to
And I say these words I know you long to hear
CHORUS
VERSE 3
I tell you bout my dad and how I lost him
I never wed, just never met my queen
I quit job and sold my house in Austin
I spent all I had on some beat up old machine
Though it's really not a car that's made for looking
That tired old cadillac goes just like a dream
CHORUS
BRIDGE
When I take your hand it feels just like it used to
And I fold my fingers softly in-between
And we talk about the places we can go to
Now it time for us to live our cadillac dreams
CHORUS x 2
