Cadillac ranch


Cadillac ranch

There she sits buddy just a-gleaming in the sun,
There to greet a working man when his day is done
I'm gonna pack my pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt,
I'm gonna take them down to the cadillac ranch.

El dorado fins, whitewalls and skirts;
Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth.
When I die, buddy, throw my body in the back,
Take me to the junkyard in my cadillac.

Cadillac, cadillac,
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines let `em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

James dean in a mercury `49
Junior johnson runnin' in the woods of caroline
Even burt reynolds in a black trans am
Are gonna meet me down at the cadillac ranch

Cadillac, cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let 'em roar
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur

Hey little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Drivin' all alone in a colorado night
You're my last love, baby, you're my last chance
Don't let `em take me down to the cadillac ranch

Cadillac, cadillac...
Long and dark, shiny and black;
Open up them engines, let 'em roar;
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

La Nitty Gritty Dirt Band è un gruppo musicale statunitense formatosi a Long Beach, California nel 1966. Considerati pionieri del country rock, hanno saputo mescolare influenze folk e bluegrass con sonorità più moderne, creando un sound originale e riconoscibile. Tra i membri fondatori si annoverano Jeff Hanna (voce, chitarra), Jimmie Fadden (batteria) e John McEuen (mandolino, banjo). Nel corso degli anni la formazione ha visto l'alternarsi di diversi musicisti, ma Hanna e Fadden sono rimasti costanti fin dalla nascita del gruppo. Tra i loro album più importanti ricordiamo "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" (1972), un lavoro che ha segnato una svolta nella carriera della band e ha contribuito a diffondere il sound country rock in tutto il mondo. Altri brani rappresentativi includono "Fishin' in the Dark", "Long Hard Road", e "Mr. Bojangles". La Nitty Gritty Dirt Band continua ad essere attiva, pubblicando nuovi album e girando in tour.
