Cadillac Dreams歌词

When I was seventeen

Found out just what it means

If you can get it free

It just ain't worth a damn

When I heard the preacher say

Don't throw your life away

And I got that message
And I wrote it on the wall

Well I don't want anybody tellin' me lies

No I don't want your diamond ring
'Cause you ain't got my size

I want money money that's what I need

I got Cadillac dreams
Please Mister don'tcha take it from me

Give me money money more than I need

I got Cadillac dreams waitin' on me

Cadillac dreams Cadillac dreams

When I had the young boy blues

I paid some young boy dues

I learned the hard way
There's a heartbreak every day

Stone cold reality

Came crashing down on me
Well life was hard on me
But I still don't give a damn

When I was seventeen
I was an angry young man

But I won't let just anybody

Tell me who I am

Just want money money that's all I need

I got Cadillac dreams
Hey Mister don'tcha take it from me

Give me money money more than I need

These Cadillac dreams are waitin' on me

Didn't have the time of day
'Til this dream was born

You can't take that away

You can't take that away from me

When I was seventeen

There was this beauty queen

Checked in a one room suite

The back seat of my car

When you want all the best things
Money can buy

You gotta reach down inside of you
To reach up to the sky

Yeah I want money money that's all I need

I got Cadillac dreams
Hey Mister you can't take that from me

I want money money more than I need

I got Cadillac dreams waitin' on me

Money money that's what I need

We're drivin' in my Chevy with my Cadillac dreams

Someday one day just you and me

We'll ride inside these Cadillac dreams

Cadillac dreams hey hey hey

That's right hey hey

It's Cadillac dreams waitin' on me

Hey hey hey
