Lyrics:
We were poor when I was a young'un
I don't remember ever going hungry
Daddy made sure we didn't do without
I went to school with some of these fellas
They had money and I was jealous
I didn't know then what I know now
Daddy'd say you can't judge a book by looking at its cover
It's what's inside that really matters
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
He said some things just glitter and shine
He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
I left home right out of high school
Got me a big car thought I was real cool
Cruisin' around the old neighborhood
I'd see Daddy after church on Sunday
I'd say you'll have to go riding with me someday
He just said no, I never understood
He asked me how I bought it, I told him on credit
Daddy just smiled, I'll never forget it
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
He said some things just glitter and shine
He taught us that love was the one thing money couldn't buy
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
It took a while but now I'm grown
I've settled down with kids of my own
The more I give them
The more they want
Daddy left us last November
I don't remember him ever looking better
All laid out in his Sunday best
I'm sure instead of all the attention
All he'd of wanted was a few words mentioned
A simple man simply laid to rest
As they drove him away in that big Cadillac
With a tear in my eye, I had to laugh
Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
He said some things just glitter and shine
But just this once,
I hope Daddy enjoyed the ride
Because Daddy never was the Cadillac kind
No, but Daddy never was the Cadillac kind

Hearing this song when your dad is gone is a whole different level of understanding, everything he ever told me was true. Once your Daddy is gone, life is never the same.

I understand how you feel, my dad left us in 2012 and my grandfather left us in 2019 and there's not a day that goes by that I don't miss them and when I listen to this song it brings me back to the lessons they taught me. Granted I may only have just turned 26 but this is the generation of country music is was raised on.

How I do understand. This song reminds me so much of my Dad. He was a working class blue collar guy who never had a lot of fancy things, and knew what really mattered. Everything he did in this life, he did for me and my Mom. I was their only child, and while they weren’t at all rich, they never denied me anything affordable. But in everything they bought for me over the years, none of it means anything in what they gave me in love, learning, family bonding, and knowing God. I lost them both five years ago, within six months of each other and miss them everyday, but I will forever value the legacy they gave me, and anticipate the day we are together again. Love and miss you Mom and Dad. I’ll give the girls a kiss from Mimi and Papa.❤️

I lost my dad today. I remember listening to this on the radio when it was released. He never could afford a Cadillac but he spent his life working on other folks cars. I went underground to be able to buy my own Cadillac and when I finally did I was so proud of it. I’d gladly trade it for just a second with him to apologize for all my foolishness. Nothing in this world is as precious as time folks, nothing!

I know the heartache. My daddy just passed away November 13th. A simple soul, lovable, hardworking and loves Jesus. He always placed us first and made sure all was provided with what his hands and back could support. While putting away some of his belongings days after the funeral this song came on. I totally forgot it was on my playlist. Lost the feeling on my legs and collapsed. We love you PapaJuan. We will always, always love you. God bless all daddies.

My Dad was the epitome of this song. When he died in 2013, after serving four years in the US Air Force and 22 years as a city cop, he said he wanted no color guard at his funeral. I boldly answered, that wish will not be honored. The color guard from Wright Patterson UF bade paid Dad their final respect. That was wonderful! The sincere condolences they showed to my mother was worth the phone call.

I lived this song. My daddy was a combat medic in the special forces, he wore the green beret. A veteran of all 3 major foreign conflicts, WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam. He took 3 rounds at once from an AK47 and lived 30 years after with only 1 kidney. He loved this song and we used to sing it together sometimes in the truck. He never was the Cadillac kind. At his funeral, he got his first and last ride in one, and as they drove him away I slightly laughed while crying and said "Hope you enjoy the ride." I thank Confederate Railroad for this song, and I miss my Father every day since then. But I know someday we'll be together again.

You have to remember music is kind of like region in a way it can reach deep in to the heart we hope, dreams, love and fear live were some say Angles fear to tread it can mean so much to so many but not all ways the same meaning at times Country like rock & Roll, folk or protest songs like come out ye Black & Tans which was born out of the deaths of hell from those who live through it on both sides Music is to the ears like a good runing engine or art to the eyes or a good meal to the nose and mouth from its taste. The US like all nations have changed so much and will never stop changing and good music like good food & people come in all nations, walks of life from dirt poor street people to what some call Blue Bloods May music like good people, food and days never leave this world for it would be a darker place without it. and those to come would have no hope of love, trust and dreams could die a slow death We owe so much to those of the past from Cold miners to vets and a police officer as well to mothers & fathers who have done their best t make the world a better place Music like life can be looked at in many ways as they say this song to me like so may has roots deep in history and life with words of wisdom for all to see and learn from

A few days before my dad passed away in 2005 I heard this song on the radio and immediately thought of my dad and how similar our relationship was. So, I downloaded the song and planned to take it to his house later that evening to play it for him. Somehow, I forgot to bring the song with me and when I was talking with my dad alone I began to mention that I intended to bring a song with me that I thought he would like to hear. Before I could tell him, he took a notepaper out of the nightstand drawer and on the paper he had written, "Could you find this song and bring it with you when you come over tomorrow?" The song he was referring to was, "Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind". At the end of my dad's life, it was good to know we were both on the same page.

That's a good story man. My dad is the same way, although he is still alive, and I hope he will be for many many years to come, he's only 62, I work in the family electrical contracting business, a trade my dad taught me ever since i was about 10. Although I don't think he has ever heard this song, he has told me more than once that "son, you don't ever need to make a million dollars, if you are doing what you are able to do every day and putting food on the table and a roof over your head, then you are a real man no matter what anyone thinks or says" My dad gave me the life skills, trade skills, and wisdom to provide me with the means to live a fulfilling life, and I never saw him miss a day of work in 33 years.. Im not getting rich, but I am doing well for myself thanks to him. That's worth more to me than any winning lottery ticket in the world.

What an amazing sound and group of raw talent. It saddens me that Nashville would rather play hip hop crap instead of the true country music we all deserve to hear.

I was working in my food trailer about 20 years ago at a county fair. Confederate Railroad was the entertainment that night. After the concert a group of guys came to the window and started ordering food. One of them said "hey, you must like us" I had their Cd on my player Yes it was the band. Mr Shirley came to the back and sang a one verse solo for me of this song. Danny had the purest voice I've ever heard. That was such a wonderful and beautiful experience! Will never forget. Thank you Danny I'm

I never had a "daddy" in my life but my grandpap has been a source of inspiration to me cause he was a hard working man...a man's man! He's gone now but my pride for him will never diminish!

+majic 44 the lyrics and the video reminds me of my late grand pa who worked in an american owned goldmine here in the philippines as a miner for 40 years to feed mom and her siblings. he is a poor man but made sure that they have the basic needs and made sure that his kids go to school and went to church on sunday. " be thankful always' be a good as God says and let no man fool you." he always told.. he died at 93..5 years ago.. have a blessed day
