Cadillac Ranch

Chris LeDoux

tom:

E
Well the well went dry and the cow did too

And daddy didn't know what to do

The banker came by the house one day

He said he's gonna take the farm away
     A
Then mama came up with a plan
   E
My brother and me started up a band
   A
My sister put a sign on the roof
    B
And daddy bought a case of 90 proof

[Chorus]
A                    E
Now we called it the Cadillac Ranch
B                           E
They're parking cars in the old bean patch
          A                       E           A
There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
         E                 B        E
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch

[Verse 2]
E
Now the only thing that we raise is cane

You don't need the sun or rain

Just some neon lights saying some ice cold beer

Keeps everything green around here
A
Mama takes the cash at the door
   E
My brother and me keep them out on the floor
   A
My sister sets them up at the bar
    B
And daddy kicks back with a big cigar

[Chorus]
A                    E
Now we called it the Cadillac Ranch
B                           E
They're parking cars in the old bean patch
          A                       E           A
There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
         E                 B        E
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch

[Bridge]
A
Well we gave all the cows away
        E
Now the only horns around here today
        A
Are the ones up on the grill
     B
Of a genuine '59 Coupe Deville

[Chorus]
A                    E
Now we called it the Cadillac Ranch
B                           E
They're parking cars in the old bean patch
          A                       E           A
There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
         E                 B        E
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch

[Chorus]
A                    E
Now we called it the Cadillac Ranch
B                           E
They're parking cars in the old bean patch
          A                       E           A
There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed
         E                 B        E
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
