Someday, I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac Gonna roll on up to those big white gates In a long one, shiny black Gonna buy me a one-way ticket, and I won't be coming back Someday I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac
Well I never had no fancy cars No I never had no money for that Most the time is all I can do Just to keep from sinking fast Well in this life, there are no guarantees But I'll tell you this little fact When they come and take me from this world I'm gonna go in a Cadillac
Repeat Chorus
Well they say you got to work real hard Just to get the things that you want Some things are so far out of reach And it's tough enough on what you got But I know I'll never be rich and fat I know that's a fact When they come to take me from the world I'm gonna go in a Cadillac
Repeat Chorus
When I take that final ride Down that last, lonely mile Don't shed no tears for me I'll be where I want to be Lying in back of that (N.C.) Cadillac
