    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!

    My dad worked for GM for 40 years and always refused to drive a Cadillac. Cadillacs were for “people that were trying to act rich with a flashy car”. He was a great man and understood the value of a dollar. No credit, just cash for his cars. Thanks for sharing this.

    This song describes my dad to a T. My dad never owned a Cadillac, he never wanted the best clothes, he wanted to make sure his family was provided for, he was a simple man who loved God and loved his family, and wanted them best for them, often sacrificing things he'd like for his family. Love and Miss him...this Nov. will be 2 years since he passed. He was a great man who taught me so much.

      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.

      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

    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.

    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.

    This song came out 2 months before my grandpa passed. He'd been a mechanic owned his own garage for years. He never owned a new car. My cousins and I all decided since he never owned or probably rode in a cadillac. Robert who's 5 years older than me decided grandpa's last ride should be in his pickup not some hearse. So when we carried him out of the funeral home Robert backed his old ford p/u next to the hearse. The funeral director had a major hissy fit, we told him to back off. The funeral procession followed us to the cemetary with Robert behind the wheel and the rest of his pallbearers in the back of the truck.

    This song reminds me of my Dad's final ride in a Cadillac. He was a man in every sense of the word, just like this is true country. As my boys grow, I hope they look up to me like I looked up to my dad and i make my father proud as he looks down on us.

    I'm a big metal-head, and this song still makes me tear up. I have loved this song since I was a kid.

    My Dad was a Miner. Those dinner buckets and carbide lights bring a tear.

    I've watched this video, and listened to this song so many times over the past few decades, dreading that day that you know is coming. It finally came unfortunately, and we laid my dad to rest Sept 6th. I've probably watched this video a dozen times since Tuesday, cause my father never was the cadillac kind either. A simple man, simply laid to rest, with family, friends, and a love that even death won't ever break. R.I.P. Dad, till we meet again!

    This song hits me deep right in the heart because I live and have grown up in West Virginia and my late pawpaw absolutely adored this song and was just like one of the people in this song, not one to buy a Cadillac.

    My Daddy wasn't the Cadillac kind this song was him, he went home to heaven the November before this song came out 30 years ago today

    You men are lucky to have a father that love and care for you. 0 - 18 I saw my father twice and we lived in the same city. I knew he didn't care. You men are lucky

    Dad never had a new vehicle or a home to call his own, we were a family of 7 kids and when we closed the door at night we were a happy family that he somehow held together with nothing to work with hardly and despite his shortcomings he was strong in so many ways when some Men would have just left , he never left us alone once no matter how bad things got. After 36 years I still think of him often.

    I lost my dad last month, and am already cherishing every time that I find an old pic of him. Words of wisdom to those still lucky enough to have both parents to lean on: take as many pictures of them now while you still can. Don't find out latter how precious they really are.
