Dreams of the Cadillac

[Verse]
Picked up my lunch pail at the break of dawn,
Walked to the factory, my boots worn thin and torn,
Clocked in my hours, with sweat and grit,
Dreamin' of the day, when I'd make it big.

[Verse 2]
Saved every penny, put 'em in a jar,
Tucked away each nickel toward a shiny car,
Kept my eye on the prize, worked hard every day,
Knew the Cadillac dream was just a mile away.

[Chorus]
Gonna buy me a Cadillac, shiny and new,
Rollin' through the town, with nothin' to lose,
Everyone will see me, the man I am,
Gonna ride that Cadillac as proud as I can.

[Verse 3]
Spent years workin', never took a day,
Livin' frugal, makin' every dollar pay,
Saw a Cadillac gleamin' in the dealer's light,
Knew that beauty was mine, comin' home tonight.

[Verse 4]
Walked up in my overalls, sweat on my brow,
Paid in cash, the dealer raised his eyebrow,
Drove it off the lot, the engine's mighty roar,
That Cadillac dream, I wasn't poor no more.

[Chorus]
Gonna buy me a Cadillac, shiny and new,
Rollin' through the town, with nothin' to lose,
Everyone will see me, the man I am,
Gonna ride that Cadillac as proud as I can.
