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 
Till 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 
Till 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 
Till 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 
Till the cows come home at Cadillac Ranch
