Some day I'm gonna ride in a Cadillac 
Gonna roll on up to these big white gates 
In a long one, shiny and black 
Gonna buy me a one way ticket 
I ain't comin back 
Some day 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 
REPEAT CHORUS 
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 
REPEAT CHORUS 
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 Cadillac 
REPEAT CHORUS
