Cadillac Dreams

Cadillac Dreams (Dave Cheetham) VERSE 1 Do you remember back in high school When we were kids just fumbling through our teens Those lazy summer days out by that old pool Skimming stones and swimming out across that stream We’d sit talking bout our plans for the future All cars we’d drive and all the sights we’d see CHORUS Cadillac dreams, cadillac dreams Those endless days of blue skies and blue jeans Cadillac dreams, cadillac dreams Promise me you’ll never stop believing in our cadillac dreams VERSE 2 Now you’re sitting here beside me on that barstool Filling in the gaps from more than twenty years You tell me how he hit you he was so cruel Now he’s left you here with nothing but your tears Then I lean a little closer like I used to And I say these words I know you long to hear CHORUS VERSE 3 I tell you bout my dad and how I lost him I never wed, just never met my queen I quit job and sold my house in Austin I spent all I had on some beat up old machine Though it’s really not a car that’s made for looking That tired old cadillac goes just like a dream CHORUS BRIDGE When I take your hand it feels just like it used to And I fold my fingers softly in-between And we talk about the places we can go to Now it time for us to live our cadillac dreams CHORUS x 2
