Well the well went dry and the cow did too And daddy didn't know what to do The banker came by the house one day He said he's gonna take the farm away Then mama came up with a plan My brother and me started up a band My sister put a sign on the roof And daddy bought a case of 90 proof There we called it the Cadillac Ranch They're parking cars in the old bean patch There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed 'Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch Now the only thing that we raise is cane You don't need the sun or rain Just some neon lights saying some ice cold beer Keeps everything green around here Mama takes the cash at the door My brother and me keep them out on the floor My sister sets them up at the bar And daddy kicks back with a big cigar There we called it the Cadillac Ranch They're parking cars in the old bean patch There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed 'Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch Well we gave all the cows away Now the only horns around here today Are the ones up on the grill Of a genuine '59 Coupe Deville There we called it the Cadillac Ranch They're parking cars in the old bean patch There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed 'Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch There we called it the Cadillac Ranch They're parking cars in the old bean patch There's a bar in the barn and the place stays packed 'Til the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
