CATTLERACK CADILLAC
Words & Music

Copyright Tim Hus Music 2008
I bought a farm truck at an auction and it must’ve been
my lucky day
’Cause I bid a hundred dollars - they
told me fifty if I haul it away
It didn’t look like much just a pick-up truck with the
seams all comin’ apart
But I changed the oil and a gasket seal and I gave it a brand
new start
It’s a Fargo frame with a stepside box and a fuel pump
from a Dodge
I stripped the struts off a flatbed that was sittin’ up
on blocks
Spare checker plate and a tailgate and I rigged up a custom
mount
For a Coup De Ville hood ornament that I had layin’ around
Chorus:
It’s a Cadillac with a cattlerack
A winch in the front and a hitch in the back
Rusty old rig with retread tires
All held together with baling wire
I like ridin’ in a pick-up truck
I got a horseshoe on the dash and it brings me luck
seed sacks, oats, and flax, a post pounder and some barbed wire
A hydraulic jack and a jerry can, a crow bar and some barbed
wire
There’s empty tins and tools and things all scattered
on the floor
And it all lands at my baby’s feet when she opens up the
door
There’s a rack for a rod and a rifle up back behind the
seat
and the market value doubles when I fill it up with gasoline
It’s a grouse hunters dream come true you can ice fish
through the floor
And warm up a can of soup on the exhaust manifold
Chorus
Instrumental
What is the most important part of an automobile?
An old timer once told me “It’s the nut that holds
the wheel”
There’s horsed in a three thirteen, three speed column
shift
I’ve replaced all the moving parts and some that never
did
So here I go down the road, it’s a rusty, rattlin’
ride
But the price of a brand new pickup is damn sure out of sight
And if I get stuck out in the rain with my thumb out in the
wind
I used to own a Volkswagon Van so I guess I’m used to
it
Chorus
Tag:
I’m anxious to know just how far a Fargo will go…
