Someday, I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac
Gonna roll on up to those big white gates
In a long one, shiny black
Gonna buy me a one-way ticket, and I won't be coming back
Someday I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac
Well I never had no fancy cars
No I never had no money for that
Most the time is all I can do
Just to keep from sinking fast
Well in this life, there are no guarantees
But I'll tell you this little fact
When they come and take me from this world
I'm gonna go in a Cadillac
Someday, I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac
Gonna roll on up to those big white gates
In a long one, shiny black
Gonna buy me a one-way ticket, and I won't be coming back
Someday I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac
Well they say you got to work real hard
Just to get the things that you want
Some things are so far out of reach
And it's tough enough on what you got
But I know I'll never be rich and fat
I know that's a fact
When they come to take me from the world
I'm gonna go in a Cadillac
Someday, I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac
Gonna roll on up to those big white gates
In a long one, shiny black
Gonna buy me a one-way ticket, and I won't be coming back
Someday I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac
When I take that final ride
Down that last, lonely mile
Don't shed no tears for me
I'll be where I want to be
Lying in back of that (N.C.) Cadillac
Someday, I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac
Gonna roll on up to those big white gates
In a long one, shiny black
Gonna buy me a one-way ticket, and I won't be coming back
Someday I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac
