Status Quo - Cadillac Ranch Lyrics






Well there she sits buddy just a-gleaming in the sun
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

Eldorado fins, heavy 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 them engines let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway, just a big old dinosaur

Hey little girl in the blue jeans so tight
Drivin' alone through the Wisconsin 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
Pulled up to my house today
Came and took my little girl away

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up them engines let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway, just a big old dinosaur

Cadillac, Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac
Cadillac, Cadillac

    my late gran, liked , the ,quo !! back from the 70s ! as I played as a kid from then ! till she passed away 1989 !  RIP  Gran !!

  23. M.... W....

    i hate Bruce Springsteen, over-rated poser. why Quo needs to cover his shite i don't know.

    M.... W....

    cause they play it better !! been a fav of the quo from the late 70s when was a kid !  don't realy like springsteen !!  quo rocks more !  sorry my spelling ! even my late gran liked the quo !! fact !!

    M.... W....

    what about Queen lives man
    did you saw pistols live to talk about springsteen?
    manchester hall trade 1976 calls you to made a lesson to how made a show

    M.... W....

    To prove they can play his music better than him

    M.... W....

    Except he is the greatest live act of all time, sold 150 million records, rolling stone ranked him 23rd of greatest artist of all time, UCR ranked him 10th, solds out every football stadium around the world.


    Status quo has sold notrhing sols oit nothing, don’t get me wrong i like status quo but you can’t compare them to mister Bruce Springsteen. No talking nessesary its the truth

    M.... W....

    Bruce pisses all over Quo

  24. d.... ....

    grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr8 version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. g.... ....

    love the quo, & my late gran , she liked aswell !! rip, gran , 1989,!/! miss you so much,!! & i play for my kids now,! & just to add  as a quo fan , ! did not even know the quo did this song till a few months ago, pppfff, my bad,, lmao,!!!  great,! just wish my gran was here to here this with us now to hear ,!! miss you gran,!!

  26. j.... ....

    Awesome band.......throuhg the years..

  27. S.... W....

    Not a bad cover at all, just sounds a little soft. Personally I think this would have been suited more to Rick's voice, he would have belted it out a bit more.

  28. l.... ....

    Volume right!!

  29. M.... R....

    it's awesome song .

    M.... R....

    from an awesome artist. lol.

  30. T.... E....

  34. P.... T....

    Springsteen's version is so much better, but this! THIS IS GOOD 2!

    P.... T....

    I do not think so ... For me is better this. Yes Springsteen is original, but Status Quo is another original. Both of this is great songs, I like to listen to both.

  35. s.... ....

    This is the best cover I've heard of a great song by the Boss.

    s.... ....

    Agree its very good...but Status quo always rocks..

  36. p.... p....

    Much better then the boss ! much more scoop

  37. p.... ....

    too true mon ami. exactly what i was gonna say, more instruments =more energy

  38. e.... t....

    bien,quo joue avec moins de musiciens lyriques que le boss

  39. T.... K....

    Is better whith S.Que!

  40. p.... ....

    One of few covers that Quo done where I feel that the original is better. its a good cover, but feels a bit like they are unitrested in the song tbh. Not the usual energy kick that quo tends to be.

    Still, a nice version.

  41. s.... ....

    Lacks the raw energi the boss has. Good though

  42. T.... A....

    top song i love it

  43. R.... ....

    @protbast Both are awesome, I personally like this one better ( :

  44. w.... ....
