I grew up in what I thought was domestic bliss
 I had a daddy and a mama and a brother and a sis
 Never knew nothing 'bout the Finer things
 We were livin' on weenies, beenies, and dreams
 Daddy used to take alot of business trips
 Promisin' us all a better life than this
 Said it was a sacrifice he had to make
 Right about then, mama dropped another plate

 Well it turned out daddy wasn't nothin' but a snake
 He had a half a dozen women, in a half a dozen states
 Mama grew wiser as the years went by
 She never said a word, kept it all inside
 Well they found him face down in a motel room
 Smellin' like liquor and a lover's perfume
 Standing by the gravesite, mama was a wreck
 Till the State-Farm man, handed her a fat check

 Daddy had a cardiac
 Mama got a Cadillac
 All of us kids done throwed away the tater sacks
 Look at us now
 Living that life
 Daddy always promised us that he'd provide
 Daddy's on a shady hill
 Mama's in a Coupe Deville
 Never have to worry 'bout another bill
 Daddy died smiling
 But mama got the last laugh
 Daddy had a cardiac
 Mama got a Cadillac

 Well it's been awhile now since it all went down
 Mama's still a hero all over town
 When the  preacher does a serom about those who wait
 Mama slips a hundred in the offerin' plate
 Now, each and every year on the day he died
 Mama dresses up for a Midnight Drive
 Where she ever goes, she never does say
 But, there's a Fresh set of tire track on daddy's grave

 Daddy had a cardiac
 Mama got a Cadillac
 All of us kids done throwed away the tater sacks
 Look at us now
 Living that life
 Daddy always promised us that he'd provide
 Daddy's on a shady hill
 Mama's in a Coupe Deville
 Never have to worry 'bout another bill
 Daddy died smiling
 But mama got the last laugh
 Daddy had a cardiac
 Mama got a Cadillac

 Daddy's on a shady hill
 Mama's in a Coupe Deville
 Never have to worry 'bout another bill
 Daddy died smiling
 But mama got the last laugh
 Daddy had a cardiac
 Mama got a Cadillac

 Daddy died smiling
 But mama got the last laugh
 Daddy had a cardiac
 Mama got a Cadillac

 Daddy had a cardiac
 Mama got a Cadillac
