Hearing this song when your dad is gone is a whole different level of understanding, everything he ever told me was true. Once your Daddy is gone, life is never the same.
I understand how you feel, my dad left us in 2012 and my grandfather left us in 2019 and there's not a day that goes by that I don't miss them and when I listen to this song it brings me back to the lessons they taught me. Granted I may only have just turned 26 but this is the generation of country music is was raised on.
How I do understand. This song reminds me so much of my Dad. He was a working class blue collar guy who never had a lot of fancy things, and knew what really mattered. Everything he did in this life, he did for me and my Mom. I was their only child, and while they weren’t at all rich, they never denied me anything affordable. But in everything they bought for me over the years, none of it means anything in what they gave me in love, learning, family bonding, and knowing God. I lost them both five years ago, within six months of each other and miss them everyday, but I will forever value the legacy they gave me, and anticipate the day we are together again. Love and miss you Mom and Dad. I’ll give the girls a kiss from Mimi and Papa.❤️
I lost my dad today. I remember listening to this on the radio when it was released. He never could afford a Cadillac but he spent his life working on other folks cars. I went underground to be able to buy my own Cadillac and when I finally did I was so proud of it. I’d gladly trade it for just a second with him to apologize for all my foolishness. Nothing in this world is as precious as time folks, nothing!
I grew up in the coal area of the north. Poor. Chevy trucks. Five kids. Log house. This song speaks for a proud segment in our country. Let's not forget...
I can't believe that the ass holes ask Confederate railroad to change their name this shit has gone to far everything is discrimination to these fucking negors anymore I stand behind Confederate railroad one hundred percent sure
My Daddy was born 1925 In Dahlonega, Ga ( 14 miles from where I live ), He quit school in 2nd grade to help His Daddy on the farm . Daddy was a MAN like no other that’s I’ve ever known . Hardest working Man ! We ( Me & My 7 Siblings) put Him in His Overalls whenever He was buried ♥️. Daddy Never was the Cadillac kind !
I had the best Dad , he was a true shotgun rider and my best friend. We grew up in a 300 acre horse ranch, I'm so glad I helped him, and here I am 4 years later and its still hard as hell.
My dad worked for GM for 40 years and always refused to drive a Cadillac. Cadillacs were for “people that were trying to act rich with a flashy car”. He was a great man and understood the value of a dollar. No credit, just cash for his cars. Thanks for sharing this.
My granddaddy understood the value of the dollar as well. He never bought anything on credit, always paid cash. He almost bought my grandma a Cadillac one time but changed his mind and bought her a Buick instead. He tried so hard to instill the same values in my head but I have always been so hardheaded, now at 42 I wish I would’ve listened to him. He lived to be 91yo.
I love the end of this video when all the workers stop and pay respects as he rides by, damn near brings a tear to my eyes to think about how these newer generations have gotten from this kind of thinking.

Lost my Dad 03/19/2022. He had just got a brand new truck. He worked most of his adult life underground in the coal mines and retired as a state mine inspector in 2005. This song hits differently now that he’s gone. I’m in tears as I write this. RIP Pops. Love and miss you always. Thank you for giving me life. ❤️
My uncles & grandfathers worked in the Colorado coal mines, god bless ur dad he & many others like him built this country chasing the american dream. God bless🙏
Yes you're dad was right it's terrible that people would rather charge it than just save up for what you want last summer I quit stopping at the gas station on my way to work for a snack well I put money aside my husband laughed at the time well he's not laughing now it bought him recliner I don't think people realize the money they spend
This song describes my dad to a T. My dad never owned a Cadillac, he never wanted the best clothes, he wanted to make sure his family was provided for, he was a simple man who loved God and loved his family, and wanted them best for them, often sacrificing things he'd like for his family. Love and Miss him...this Nov. will be 2 years since he passed. He was a great man who taught me so much.
I know the heartache. My daddy just passed away November 13th. A simple soul, lovable, hardworking and loves Jesus. He always placed us first and made sure all was provided with what his hands and back could support. While putting away some of his belongings days after the funeral this song came on. I totally forgot it was on my playlist. Lost the feeling on my legs and collapsed. We love you PapaJuan. We will always, always love you. God bless all daddies.
My Dad was the epitome of this song. When he died in 2013, after serving four years in the US Air Force and 22 years as a city cop, he said he wanted no color guard at his funeral. I boldly answered, that wish will not be honored. The color guard from Wright Patterson UF bade paid Dad their final respect. That was wonderful! The sincere condolences they showed to my mother was worth the phone call.
A few days before my dad passed away in 2005 I heard this song on the radio and immediately thought of my dad and how similar our relationship was. So, I downloaded the song and planned to take it to his house later that evening to play it for him. Somehow, I forgot to bring the song with me and when I was talking with my dad alone I began to mention that I intended to bring a song with me that I thought he would like to hear. Before I could tell him, he took a notepaper out of the nightstand drawer and on the paper he had written, "Could you find this song and bring it with you when you come over tomorrow?" The song he was referring to was, "Daddy Never Was The Cadillac Kind". At the end of my dad's life, it was good to know we were both on the same page.
That's a good story man. My dad is the same way, although he is still alive, and I hope he will be for many many years to come, he's only 62, I work in the family electrical contracting business, a trade my dad taught me ever since i was about 10. Although I don't think he has ever heard this song, he has told me more than once that "son, you don't ever need to make a million dollars, if you are doing what you are able to do every day and putting food on the table and a roof over your head, then you are a real man no matter what anyone thinks or says" My dad gave me the life skills, trade skills, and wisdom to provide me with the means to live a fulfilling life, and I never saw him miss a day of work in 33 years.. Im not getting rich, but I am doing well for myself thanks to him. That's worth more to me than any winning lottery ticket in the world.
Dear Confederate Railroad, Please don’t ever cave to the pressure. They can’t rip everything down. Sincerely, someone who understands that our history while not perfect is still our history.
Don't worry guy, we gotcha over here in Europe too, fuck cancel culture nobodies.... They will be gone soon enough, ain't nobody hiring these losers anyhow, they will die out ;) don'tchaworry!
This is David's girlfriend and he loved his Dad with all of his heart! It's been along time since he died but he thinks about him everyday,! HE LOVED HIS DAD TO THE MOON THE BACK❤
I heard this song on the radio the other night. I couldn't believe it. I mean nothing against new country but stations need to play the classics once in a while. The classics will never die. That's what was true country.
I agree i just lost my father we laying him to rest today and this is my Daddy. I agree I dislike modern country but this are the best. thank you confederate railroad.
What an amazing sound and group of raw talent. It saddens me that Nashville would rather play hip hop crap instead of the true country music we all deserve to hear.
My Daddy wasn't a miner; but he worked hard in steel and wire mills, painted and remodeled houses, and did whatever was needed to make sure we never saw an empty plate! I miss my Daddy so!!!
I am a PROUD grandson of a coal miner who worked in the mines of Pennsylvania. I never had a "daddy" in my life but my grandpap has been a source of inspiration to me cause he was a hard working man...a man's man! He's gone now but my pride for him will never diminish! God Bless all the hard working men who made this nation prosper!!!
+majic 44 the lyrics and the video reminds me of my late grand pa who worked in an american owned goldmine here in the philippines as a miner for 40 years to feed mom and her siblings. he is a poor man but made sure that they have the basic needs and made sure that his kids go to school and went to church on sunday. " be thankful always' be a good as God says and let no man fool you." he always told.. he died at 93..5 years ago.. have a blessed day
Oh the Great 90s country John Michael Montgomery, Colllin Raye, Sammy Kershaw,Dwight Yoachim, I could go on forever, Joe Diffie and Kenny Rogers we will miss you forever but your music Lives on in our hearts!!!❤️
when you leave like that , with the men removing their hats from their soiled faces, leathered skin, and work hardened hands, you know you have lived among the best. What more could you ask for. He had his eye fixed on other treasures not the worlds.
Sad that they were taken off the list of performers at Illinois State Fair... Great Music and no racism... would gladly buy tickets to your show in Tennessee.
The Republicans or accused of being racist, but I watched the Democratic debates just to see who was going to offer the most handouts and all I heard was white this and black that! I have never heard that in a Republican debate.
@G H I don't know of anyone in Southern Illinois who has voted for ANY of the past few Governors or the corrupt politicians from Chicago. Chicago runs illinois politically. I don't know who you think you are but you had better do your homework before making a blanket statement like that.
Depends on who u ask another good song is aaron tippin got to stand for somthing but people don't stand for anything anymore then call there selvs men haha what a joak
I second that. Sometimes I run across a newer song that is pretty good, but by and large that is not the case. Whereas nearly every song from the 80's and 90's is TOP NOTCH stuff.
Back to true FEELINGS. HEART AN SOUL. I MISS .I DONT FEEL LOKE THE PERSON AT TIMES THAT WAS RAISED WITH MUSIC. HEART ,TRUTH ,AN REAL PERSON BEHIND IT ALL.80s an 90s. The purest We will ever have .2019 an it's all in feeling, un emotional music. But that is wht music us PERSONALITY, HEART,AN SOUL
My dads dieing of cancer right now we don’t know how much longer he has to live and this song is one of me and his songs we sing together. Always my fathers right hand man. Since I was a child I’ve always wanted my dad and he was in prison and In addiction most my life but now we bond and argue spending rest of his time together till the lord takes him ☮️✅🙏💯
I lost my daddy suddenly Jan 23rd 2020. He was not just my pops but my best friend! He was the glue that held us and now it's been on me. If I ever live long enough to be half the dad he didn't half to be i think ill be ok.
Just as George Jones sang this and it brought tears to my eyes. I was so young then. Alan Jackson does an amazing rendition of this well loved song still tears in 2024😢
This fit my father to a T. He was a very hard worker, but he never seemed to be able to get ahead. We may have been poor, but we had love and respect for each other. That is all we needed. If it wasn't a necessity, we didn't get it. My father was too proud to ask for help.
Amen, the last gasp of Nashville. It's rare these days any real country breaks through but most of what is called country today is just pop music pretending it's country.
Keep up the good work Confederate Railroad. Keep our country's history and heritage flying high!! Thank You, Who cares what new York or Illinois people think!!
I totaled my old mans El Dorado in 88, he just came and got me out of jail, sat me down for a short talk and next thing I knew I was heading to Basic Training in Fort Sill, lmao. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm 56 now and already retired after my time in the Army and 22 years with the VA. I really miss that guy.
Lost my grandfather in 2004, Dad is 75 now, can't imagine life without him. Amazing how the men in our lives taught us so much except how to lose that special someone in our lives.
My daddy passed in 2008 this song still hits different now r.i.p old man I love you and miss you and remember every word you have every told me David Kay Miller
You have to remember music is kind of like region in a way it can reach deep in to the heart we hope, dreams, love and fear live were some say Angles fear to tread it can mean so much to so many but not all ways the same meaning at times Country like rock & Roll, folk or protest songs like come out ye Black & Tans which was born out of the deaths of hell from those who live through it on both sides Music is to the ears like a good runing engine or art to the eyes or a good meal to the nose and mouth from its taste. The US like all nations have changed so much and will never stop changing and good music like good food & people come in all nations, walks of life from dirt poor street people to what some call Blue Bloods May music like good people, food and days never leave this world for it would be a darker place without it. and those to come would have no hope of love, trust and dreams could die a slow death We owe so much to those of the past from Cold miners to vets and a police officer as well to mothers & fathers who have done their best t make the world a better place Music like life can be looked at in many ways as they say this song to me like so may has roots deep in history and life with words of wisdom for all to see and learn from
@@johnrodems6360 what in the fuck does this song or this band getting banned from playing the concert they were booked for have any goddamned thing to do with Trump you fucking piece of trash
Been to over 100 different country concerts and He’s by far the nicest most down to earth guy there is, he came sat with us after concert and ate and drank and bullshitted hell of a nice guy
I'm just 15 years old I can't imagine the day my dad leaves me this is the music he raised me on he bought me my 1961 comet 2 years ago he loves driving that car I just know that it will have to be at his funeral dad turned 59 a week ago I'm worried to lose him
This song came out 2 months before my grandpa passed. He'd been a mechanic owned his own garage for years. He never owned a new car. My cousins and I all decided since he never owned or probably rode in a cadillac. Robert who's 5 years older than me decided grandpa's last ride should be in his pickup not some hearse. So when we carried him out of the funeral home Robert backed his old ford p/u next to the hearse. The funeral director had a major hissy fit, we told him to back off. The funeral procession followed us to the cemetary with Robert behind the wheel and the rest of his pallbearers in the back of the truck.
That generation was humble and proud but they were honest in what they said, and believed. they walked the tight rope of the Depression without a safety net and with their heads held high for themselves, their families, and Their country. You all did right by him, he’s proud of you for giving him his last ride in manner he was happy with! Good job!
This song reminds me a lot of my dad. He never drove a Cadillac. He always made sure that we always had everything that we needed. I lost him to cancer 12 years ago. I have to say that who I am today and everything that I believe in is a result of everything he taught me while I was growing up. He taught me about responsibility. Dad I love you and miss you very much
My dad bought used caddy's, my momma liked big cars and he drove them in the field throwing peanut hulls in the floorboard. That's how he rolled. She missed him something awful after he died
I want to dedicate this song to my Daddy. He was the first to rise in the morning and the last to bed at night. I am so fortunate to have this selfless man to call MY DADDY. This song defines him to a t...I will ALWAYS be a DADDYS GIRL!!!♡♡♡
Love my daddy !!! 8 kids he raised up on one income home . We were far from rich but some how he made sure we had beach vacations Walt Disney world all kinds of things that now I'm a grandma and mother I don't know how he ever made it .He never had a Cadillac
When people think of Dixie these days, they think of slave owning racists. Dixie for a matter of fact is actually hard working Men who we should respect. Long live Dixieland!
yes dont give up our rights guns and freedom .stand and say the plege of alegence every morning like i did in school and in dont kneel.except in church and say my pryers
I've seen this band 5 times. I partied with one of them at a bar in a hotel they were staying in in Braxton County West Virginia. They played the county fair there. Awesome Band!!
@Oscar Landrum That's very nice to hear. Getting ready to crash so hopefully we can chat later. May God always watch over you and keep you at all times. Sweet Dreams!!
This song hits me deep right in the heart because I live and have grown up in West Virginia and my late pawpaw absolutely adored this song and was just like one of the people in this song, not one to buy a Cadillac.
What a beautiful song with a great message! My old man is a coal miner as was his before him, my brothers and I are down there too! This song and video definitely hit home
In an era filled with great music and new forming pop type songs. Songs from this band were about in the middle of the pack. Now listening to it several years removed. Considering the TRASH they play on the radio today. These songs sound like pure Country Gold.
The older i get the more and more i see my father in me. And i am proud to see my father in me. I do walk the way does and i talk the way he does. And i have been truly blessed with his wisdom and faith.
Kindly keep it country! It's not the boots, the hat nor the car you drive that defines a person but rather his kindness, his sacrifices his truthfulness , his love, his humblenees , patience, tolerance ,faith and willingness to forgive but what is counted most and truly bears witness is to be all that at worst of times and those times when no one else is around that's Keeping it country!
That was the way my Daddy was. We didn't have money, but we had a lot of LOVE. PRAISE GOD FOR MY RAISING. I COULDN'T HAVE HAD BETTER PARENTS AND SIBLINGS. THANK God for His Amazing love and mercy
I've watched this video, and listened to this song so many times over the past few decades, dreading that day that you know is coming. It finally came unfortunately, and we laid my dad to rest Sept 6th. I've probably watched this video a dozen times since Tuesday, cause my father never was the cadillac kind either. A simple man, simply laid to rest, with family, friends, and a love that even death won't ever break. R.I.P. Dad, till we meet again!
Dad never had a new vehicle or a home to call his own, we were a family of 7 kids and when we closed the door at night we were a happy family that he somehow held together with nothing to work with hardly and despite his shortcomings he was strong in so many ways when some Men would have just left , he never left us alone once no matter how bad things got. After 36 years I still think of him often.
Dear Lord how I miss real Country Music.
Hearing this song when your dad is gone is a whole different level of understanding, everything he ever told me was true. Once your Daddy is gone, life is never the same.
I understand how you feel, my dad left us in 2012 and my grandfather left us in 2019 and there's not a day that goes by that I don't miss them and when I listen to this song it brings me back to the lessons they taught me. Granted I may only have just turned 26 but this is the generation of country music is was raised on.
How I do understand.
This song reminds me so much of my Dad.
He was a working class blue collar guy who never had a lot of fancy things, and knew what really mattered.
Everything he did in this life, he did for me and my Mom.
I was their only child, and while they weren’t at all rich, they never denied me anything affordable.
But in everything they bought for me over the years, none of it means anything in what they gave me in love, learning, family bonding, and knowing God.
I lost them both five years ago, within six months of each other and miss them everyday, but I will forever value the legacy they gave me, and anticipate the day we are together again.
Love and miss you Mom and Dad.
I’ll give the girls a kiss from Mimi and Papa.❤️
My dad taught me so much and had so much more to teach me. He never wanted alot, just respect and a legacy he could leave behind.
TRUTH!!
I'm in tears instantly I was thinking the very same thing. Here's to both of our dads may they R.I.P
I lost my dad today. I remember listening to this on the radio when it was released. He never could afford a Cadillac but he spent his life working on other folks cars.

Lost mine two days ago. It's unreal.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my dad when he was 47. He was a Vietnam veteran and he died of agent orange.
Ain’t that the truth! I lost my uncle last December. R.I.P. Phil.

Country artists nowadays should take notes. This is what country music should be like. Telling stories that actually have meaning.
Preach!!!!!!
You got that right
Not trying to sound like pop music
RIGHT ON!!! This song carries EVEN HEAVIER meaning to those of us whose Fathers are deceased!
Now it's more like pop music instead of real country.

Don't worry guy, we gotcha over here in Europe too, fuck cancel culture nobodies.... They will be gone soon enough, ain't nobody hiring these losers anyhow, they will die out ;) don'tchaworry!
Absolute truth. We're here with you. Heritage not hate.
If bands change their name then who gives a damn
This is David's girlfriend and he loved his Dad with all of his heart! It's been along time since he died but he thinks about him everyday,! HE LOVED HIS DAD TO THE MOON THE BACK❤
A coal miners daughter! Very proud of him. Thankful he is still with us!!
This song gets me every time. I loved the way we respected people pre-1980. Damn, America where did you go?
Still here. This song is my dad to a T lol I’m fortunate to still have him around beating the lessons into my hard head 😂
The people that we are letting come into America are changing America..and not always for the better
Yeah I miss white america too.
My Daddy wasn't the Cadillac kind this song was him, he went home to heaven the November before this song came out 30 years ago today
I heard this song on the radio the other night. I couldn't believe it. I mean nothing against new country but stations need to play the classics once in a while. The classics will never die. That's what was true country.
+RainbowDash72 Dang, really? That's awesome. I'm lucky to even hear George Strait or Brooks & Dunn on my local station, haha.
+RainbowDash72 I suport you!..
I agree i just lost my father we laying him to rest today and this is my Daddy. I agree I dislike modern country but this are the best. thank you confederate railroad.
+RainbowDash72 That's a miracle in of itself.
Amen I agre
What an amazing sound and group of raw talent. It saddens me that Nashville would rather play hip hop crap instead of the true country music we all deserve to hear.
+Chris McLain that's why I haven't followed the mainstream in years. I'm in my 30s yet listen to 80s country or older
+Keith Stidham im in my 20s and still follow the old 80s and 90s country music
+mark denton Ditto, although I also like very old country like ol' Bill Monroe, Hank Williams, Ralph Stanley, or Roscoe Holcomb.
+mark denton I'm 17 and still follow all the old classics
+darron huskey im 19 still followin the classics!
Just for you Poppy!!❤
Hey how are you doing?
My daddy was definitely wasn't a Cadillac kind, he worked in a coal mine. this song rips at my heart strings
My Daddy wasn't a miner; but he worked hard in steel and wire mills, painted and remodeled houses, and did whatever was needed to make sure we never saw an empty plate!
I miss my Daddy so!!!
Oh you all know my dad wasn't neither were my paps
this is actual country music
My father is my hero he is 84. HE taught me what being a man is. Its my turn to help him like he has done for so many.
I am a PROUD grandson of a coal miner who worked in the mines of Pennsylvania. I never had a "daddy" in my life but my grandpap has been a source of inspiration to me cause he was a hard working man...a man's man! He's gone now but my pride for him will never diminish! God Bless all the hard working men who made this nation prosper!!!
+majic 44 the lyrics and the video reminds me of my late grand pa who worked in an american owned goldmine here in the philippines as a miner for 40 years to feed mom and her siblings. he is a poor man but made sure that they have the basic needs and made sure that his kids go to school and went to church on sunday. " be thankful always' be a good as God says and let no man fool you." he always told.. he died at 93..5 years ago.. have a blessed day
+Marco Bitog right on brother....they were great men!!
Man I miss these guys!!! Anyone else get Goosebumps when they hear this song?
YES! EVEN MORE so after Daddy dies! Life is NEVER the same again!
Me too!!!
Remind me of my daddy. Tough as nails humble and fair and loved Jesus Christ. RIP dad till i see you again.
Oh the Great 90s country John Michael Montgomery, Colllin Raye, Sammy Kershaw,Dwight Yoachim, I could go on forever, Joe Diffie and Kenny Rogers we will miss you forever but your music Lives on in our hearts!!!❤️
Hey how are you doing…?
all the miners at the end, their show of respect, makes me a little teary eyed. I have always loved this song.
when you leave like that , with the men removing their hats from their soiled faces, leathered skin, and work hardened hands, you know you have lived among the best. What more could you ask for. He had his eye fixed on other treasures not the worlds.
shyt makes a grown man tear up but i keep coming back for more
Song makes me cry every time.
Sad that they were taken off the list of performers at Illinois State Fair... Great Music and no racism... would gladly buy tickets to your show in Tennessee.
Songs spoken from the heart..💚♥️🙏🇺🇸
Yea...and they let snoop dog perform. WTF
Illinois is yankee territory
The Republicans or accused of being racist, but I watched the Democratic debates just to see who was going to offer the most handouts and all I heard was white this and black that! I have never heard that in a Republican debate.
@G H I don't know of anyone in Southern Illinois who has voted for ANY of the past few Governors or the corrupt politicians from Chicago. Chicago runs illinois politically. I don't know who you think you are but you had better do your homework before making a blanket statement like that.
Will be listening forever. Because my values don't change with the times.
Yessir
Amen!🙏🙏🙏
Depends on who u ask another good song is aaron tippin got to stand for somthing but people don't stand for anything anymore then call there selvs men haha what a joak
Where are Confederate Railroad today? We need you guys back asap!
They never went nowhere they are still touring see there official website on Google
They had some issues on account of their name, last i heard/read somewhere.
They never went anywhere. They are still touring
I heard they got kicked out of a event because they wouldn't change thier name to make all of the pantie wearing fruity in the booty ass panzys
90s music had feeling, emotions and mullets! can we go back to that please?
Tammy Mott 87dey
I second that. Sometimes I run across a newer song that is pretty good, but by and large that is not the case. Whereas nearly every song from the 80's and 90's is TOP NOTCH stuff.
Rockin my mullet like a champ! 2018
Back to true FEELINGS. HEART AN SOUL.
I MISS .I DONT FEEL LOKE THE PERSON AT TIMES THAT WAS RAISED WITH MUSIC. HEART ,TRUTH ,AN REAL PERSON BEHIND IT ALL.80s an 90s. The purest We will ever have .2019 an it's all in feeling, un emotional music. But that is wht music us PERSONALITY, HEART,AN SOUL
I never left that time
My dads dieing of cancer right now we don’t know how much longer he has to live and this song is one of me and his songs we sing together. Always my fathers right hand man. Since I was a child I’ve always wanted my dad and he was in prison and In addiction most my life but now we bond and argue spending rest of his time together till the lord takes him ☮️✅🙏💯
I lost my daddy suddenly Jan 23rd 2020. He was not just my pops but my best friend! He was the glue that held us and now it's been on me. If I ever live long enough to be half the dad he didn't half to be i think ill be ok.
Happy Father's Day everyone hoping you still have yours
Just as George Jones sang this and it brought tears to my eyes. I was so young then. Alan Jackson does an amazing rendition of this well loved song still tears in 2024😢
This fit my father to a T. He was a very hard worker, but he never seemed to be able to get ahead. We may have been poor, but we had love and respect for each other. That is all we needed. If it wasn't a necessity, we didn't get it. My father was too proud to ask for help.
I tear up every time I hear this song. I sure miss my dad
Same here
Another good dad song is the song
"you gotta stand for something "
Miss my Daddy, hard working blue collar man.............
thank you to all the hard working loving dads out there. you are the rarest man out there. God bless you!
I am very blessed to have my dad he is a great man and wants the best for his family ❤
This is real Country music..... 80's 90's country was Magical
Amen, the last gasp of Nashville. It's rare these days any real country breaks through but most of what is called country today is just pop music pretending it's country.
I agree
Both my grandpas still listen to this kind of country and every time I visit them they play it and I never get tired of it.
Dad always wanted to have Cadillac but never owned one. He took his last ride in one a year ago. Miss you Dad-now and always.
Miss real country
The Bro-Country school of music these days has taken all the soul out of the music. I prefer to listen to the older tunes like this.
Who doesn't?
Candace Casey oh, idk Jason Aldean fans and Luke Bryan fans or Keith urban fans
Keep up the good work Confederate Railroad. Keep our country's history and heritage flying high!! Thank You, Who cares what new York or Illinois people think!!
I totaled my old mans El Dorado in 88, he just came and got me out of jail, sat me down for a short talk and next thing I knew I was heading to Basic Training in Fort Sill, lmao. It was the best thing that ever happened to me. I'm 56 now and already retired after my time in the Army and 22 years with the VA. I really miss that guy.
Lost my grandfather in 2004, Dad is 75 now, can't imagine life without him. Amazing how the men in our lives taught us so much except how to lose that special someone in our lives.
I learn from my dad how to be father like he was to all of us kids to my two kids ok r I p dad
There’s no voice like Danny Shirley’s. I listen to this song regularly to remember what truly matters in life.
My daddy passed in 2008 this song still hits different now r.i.p old man I love you and miss you and remember every word you have every told me David Kay Miller
when country was worth a damn
Hear! Hear!
You have to remember music is kind of like region in a way it can reach deep in to the heart we hope, dreams, love and fear live were some say Angles fear to tread
it can mean so much to so many but not all ways the same meaning at times
Country like rock & Roll, folk or protest songs like come out ye Black & Tans which was born out of the deaths of hell from those who live through it on both sides
Music is to the ears like a good runing engine or art to the eyes or a good meal to the nose and mouth from its taste.
The US like all nations have changed so much and will never stop changing and good music like good food & people come in all nations, walks of life from dirt poor street people to what some call Blue Bloods
May music like good people, food and days never leave this world for it would be a darker place without it. and those to come would have no hope of love, trust and dreams could die a slow death
We owe so much to those of the past from Cold miners to vets and a police officer as well to mothers & fathers who have done their best t make the world a better place
Music like life can be looked at in many ways
as they say this song to me like so may has roots deep in history and life with words of wisdom for all to see and learn from
@@johnrodems6360 what are you rambling about?
@@johnrodems6360 what in the fuck does this song or this band getting banned from playing the concert they were booked for have any goddamned thing to do with Trump you fucking piece of trash
John Rodems, Mental illness is nothing to be proud of.
One of the most underrated bands of all time. I’m a under ground coal miner. Love this video. Wish I knew if his dad was really a miner
He was a real miner!! 💯
Been to over 100 different country concerts and He’s by far the nicest most down to earth guy there is, he came sat with us after concert and ate and drank and bullshitted hell of a nice guy
I'm just 15 years old I can't imagine the day my dad leaves me this is the music he raised me on he bought me my 1961 comet 2 years ago he loves driving that car I just know that it will have to be at his funeral dad turned 59 a week ago I'm worried to lose him
This song came out 2 months before my grandpa passed. He'd been a mechanic owned his own garage for years. He never owned a new car. My cousins and I all decided since he never owned or probably rode in a cadillac. Robert who's 5 years older than me decided grandpa's last ride should be in his pickup not some hearse. So when we carried him out of the funeral home Robert backed his old ford p/u next to the hearse. The funeral director had a major hissy fit, we told him to back off. The funeral procession followed us to the cemetary with Robert behind the wheel and the rest of his pallbearers in the back of the truck.
Wendell Stafford wow
That generation was humble and proud but they were honest in what they said, and believed. they walked the tight rope of the Depression without a safety net and with their heads held high for themselves, their families, and Their country. You all did right by him, he’s proud of you for giving him his last ride in manner he was happy with! Good job!
No better tribute than that.
Thats respect right there brought a 😢 to my eyes when i read that
hell of a way to go bet he was a good man
Best song ever! My daddy been gone for 10 months life hasn’t been the same. I love you daddy ❤
One of my favorites that never gets old.
Them boys stopping and showing respect at the end of this video is my favorite part.
That was when people could appreciate some one and what they did for them now they dont care
This song reminds me a lot of my dad. He never drove a Cadillac. He always made sure that we always had everything that we needed. I lost him to cancer 12 years ago. I have to say that who I am today and everything that I believe in is a result of everything he taught me while I was growing up. He taught me about responsibility. Dad I love you and miss you very much
My dad bought used caddy's, my momma liked big cars and he drove them in the field throwing peanut hulls in the floorboard. That's how he rolled. She missed him something awful after he died
I want to dedicate this song to my Daddy. He was the first to rise in the morning and the last to bed at night. I am so fortunate to have this selfless man to call MY DADDY. This song defines him to a t...I will ALWAYS be a DADDYS GIRL!!!♡♡♡
Love my daddy !!!
8 kids he raised up on one income home .
We were far from rich but some how he made sure we had beach vacations Walt Disney world all kinds of things that now I'm a grandma and mother I don't know how he ever made it .He never had a Cadillac
Boy, how have the times changed. I wish it was still that way...
When people think of Dixie these days, they think of slave owning racists. Dixie for a matter of fact is actually hard working Men who we should respect. Long live Dixieland!
Iron horse Ranch Cancel culture is getting out of hand! 🙏🏼🇺🇸

Katrina Keith damn right
I've seen this band 5 times. I partied with one of them at a bar in a hotel they were staying in in Braxton County West Virginia. They played the county fair there. Awesome Band!!
@Oscar Landrum good and you?
@Oscar Landrum That's very nice to hear.
Getting ready to crash so hopefully we can chat later.
May God always watch over you and keep you at all times.
Sweet Dreams!!
@Oscar Landrum West Virginia
@Oscar Landrum it is beautiful but to live it's horrible. Not enough jobs to go around.
Forgot how good that song was. Brings back memories of my Grandparents.
This song hits me deep right in the heart because I live and have grown up in West Virginia and my late pawpaw absolutely adored this song and was just like one of the people in this song, not one to buy a Cadillac.
What a beautiful song with a great message! My old man is a coal miner as was his before him, my brothers and I are down there too! This song and video definitely hit home
In an era filled with great music and new forming pop type songs. Songs from this band were about in the middle of the pack. Now listening to it several years removed. Considering the TRASH they play on the radio today. These songs sound like pure Country Gold.
Real country, great talent, greatly missed.
so true I love country music like this
Real country music right here
Hello how are you doing…?
This is real country music.
I'm a big metal-head, and this song still makes me tear up. I have loved this song since I was a kid.
This is country. Much love from East Texas
This song hits the heart every time. Played this song at my uncles funeral and it was almost as if this song was written for him.
Hit me hard to. I can still her dad say, all work and play son is not living.
Lost dad 4 year ago, he 2 was a miner so am i, dawn I miss him! Love u dad
The older i get the more and more i see my father in me. And i am proud to see my father in me. I do walk the way does and i talk the way he does. And i have been truly blessed with his wisdom and faith.
Back when country was just that...COUNTRY
Faith Holstein j
Kindly keep it country!
It's not the boots, the hat nor the car you drive that defines a person but rather his kindness, his sacrifices his truthfulness , his love, his humblenees , patience, tolerance ,faith and willingness to forgive but what is counted most and truly bears witness is to be all that at worst of times and those times when no one else is around that's Keeping it country!
If I could bring back my dad and my grandparents this would be them. My mom is still alive at 84 and she is the same way.
May god protect all underground miners.
My Dad, Brother, Uncles, Cousins were all Miners.
Amen
Thank you. That means more than you realize.
Aman
Always may God keep y'all safe
That was the way my Daddy was. We didn't have money, but we had a lot of LOVE. PRAISE GOD FOR MY RAISING. I COULDN'T HAVE HAD BETTER PARENTS AND SIBLINGS. THANK God for His Amazing love and mercy
Hello how are you doing today?
I've watched this video, and listened to this song so many times over the past few decades, dreading that day that you know is coming. It finally came unfortunately, and we laid my dad to rest Sept 6th. I've probably watched this video a dozen times since Tuesday, cause my father never was the cadillac kind either. A simple man, simply laid to rest, with family, friends, and a love that even death won't ever break. R.I.P. Dad, till we meet again!
Sorry for your loss, everything changes when your parents pass on. After that you run on the memories ❤️
🙏🙏🙏🙏
Dad never had a new vehicle or a home to call his own, we were a family of 7 kids and when we closed the door at night we were a happy family that he somehow held together with nothing to work with hardly and despite his shortcomings he was strong in so many ways when some Men would have just left , he never left us alone once no matter how bad things got. After 36 years I still think of him often.
God bless your Dad and your family.
