Circle left
Well, there she sits, buddy, just a-gleaming in the sun
There to greet a working man when his day is done
4 boys star right and roll it one time round
Left allemande the corner, weave around the ring
Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Heads (sides) promenade take her halfway around
Lead right, veer left, bend the line
Touch 1/4, circulate and then, boy run
Slide thru and square thru man, 3 hands around
That corner lady swing
Swing that corner girl and promenade the ring
Open up your engines let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Sides face grand square
James Dean in that Mercury '49
Junior Johnson runnin' thru the woods of Caroline
Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans-Am
All gonna meet down at the Cadillac Ranch
Heads (Sides) square thru 4 hands around
Swing your corner and all promenade
Open up your engines let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

FIGURE    Mainstream, corner progression

Sides face grand square
Hey, little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Drivin' alone through the Wisconsin night
You're my last love, baby you're my last chance
Don't let 'em take me to the Cadillac Ranch
Heads (Sides) square thru 4 hands around
Swing your corner and all promenade
Open up your engines let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

There she sits buddy just a-gleaming in the sun
There to greet a working man when his day is done
I'm gonna pack my Pa and I'm gonna pack my aunt
I'm gonna take them down to the Cadillac Ranch.

El Dorado fins, baby, whitewalls and skirts
Rides just like a little bit of heaven here on earth.
When I die, buddy, throw my body in the back
Drive me to the junkyard in my Cadillac.

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let 'em roar
Tearing up the highway like a big old dinosaur

James Dean in that Mercury '49
Junior Johnson runnin' in the woods of Caroline
Even Burt Reynolds in that black Trans Am
Are gonna meet me down at the Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let 'em roar
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur

Hey little girlie in the blue jeans so tight
Drivin' along through the Wisconsin night
You're my last love, baby, you're my last chance
Don't let 'em take me down to the Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Rolled up to my house today
Come to take my little girl away

Cadillac, Cadillac
Long and dark, shiny and black
Open up your engines, let 'em roar
Tearin' up the highway like a big old dinosaur
