Well the well went dry and the cow did too

Daddy didn't know what to do

The banker came by the house one day

Said he's gonna take the farm away

And momma came up with a plan

Brother and me started up a band

Sister put a sign on the roof

And daddy bought a case of ninety-proof



Now we call it the cadillac ranch

They're parking cars in the old feed patch

There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed

'Til the cows come home at cadillac ranch



Now the only thing that we raise is cane

You don't need the sun or rain

Just neon lights and some ice cold beer

Keeps everything real around here

Momma takes the cash at the door

Brother and me keep 'em out on the floor

Sister sets them up at the bar

And daddy kicks back with a big cigar



Now we call it the cadillac ranch

They're parking cars in the old feed patch

There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed

'Til the cows come home at cadillac ranch



Well we gave all the cows away

Now the only horns around here today

Are the ones up on the grill

Of a genuine fifty-nine coupe DeVille



Now we call it the cadillac ranch

They're parking cars in the old feed patch

There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed

'Til the cows come home at cadillac ranch



Now we call it the cadillac ranch

They're parking cars in the old feed patch

There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed

'Til the cows come home at cadillac ranch
