CADILLAC DREAMS
Gene Simmons, Vini Poncia
Rhy. Fig 1:
Rhy. Fig 2:
When I was seventeen, found out just what it means
If you can get it free, it just ain't worth a damn
When I heard the preacher say, don't throw your life away
I got that message, and I wrote it on the wall
Rhy. Fig 3:
I don't want anybody tellin' me lies, no, I don't want your diamond ring
'Cause you ain't got my size
Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 1:
I want money, money, that's what I need,
I got Cadillac dreams, please mister don'tcha take it from me
Rhy. Fig 4 w/ End 2 and Riff 1 (2x):
Give me money, money, more than I need, I got Cadillac dreams waitin' on me
Rhy. Fig 5:
Cadillac dreams, Cadillac dreams
Rhy. Fig 2 w/ Riff 2:
When I had the young boy blues, I paid some young boy dues
I learned the hard way, there's a heartbreak every day
Stone cold reality came crashing down on me

Well life was hard on me, but I still don't give a damn
Rhy. Fig 3:
When I was seventeen I was an angry young man
But I won't let just anybody tell me who I am

I just want money, money, that's all I need
I got Cadillac dreams, hey mister don'tcha take it from me

Give me money, money, more than I need

Didn't have the time of day, till this dream was born
You can't take that away, you can't take that away from me

When you want all the best things money can buy
You gotta reach down inside of you, to reach up to the sky

Money, money, that's what I need
We're drivin' in my Chevy with my Cadillac dreams

Someday, one day, just you and me
We'll ride inside these Cadillac dreams
