Cadillac Ranch Performed by Chris Ledoux 
Written by Chris Waters and Chuck Jones 
 
In the key of E5 

E5 
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 
A5 
Momma came up with a plan 
E5 
Brother and me started up a band 
A5 
Sister put a sign on the roof  
B5 
And Daddy bought a case of ninety-proof 
 
CHORUS 
A5                         E5 
Now we call it the cadillac ranch 
B5                  E5 
they're parking cars in the old feed patch 
A5                            E5           A5 
There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed 
N C 
Till the cows come home at cadillac ranch 
 

E5 
Now the only thing that we raise is cane 

You don't need the sun and rain 

Just neon lights and some ice cold beer 

Keeps everything real around here 
A5 
Momma take the cash at the door 
E5 
Brother and me keep 'em out on the floor 
A5 
Sister sets them up at the bar 
B5 
And Daddy kicks back with a big cigar 
 
REPEAT CHORUS 
 
SOLO 
 
BRIDGE 
A5 
Well we gave all the cows away 
E5 
Now the only horns around here today 
A5 
Are the ones up on the grill 
B5 
Of a genuine fifty-nine coupe de ville 
 
REPEAT CHORUS (X2)
