The Cadillac Ranch is a collection of 10 Cadillacs buried hood-first in a wheat field near Amarillo, Texas. Visitors are allowed to add graffiti to the cars, which are considered works of art.
This is one of many early Springsteen songs featuring cars. Some others were "Thunder Road," "Backstreets," and "Racing In The Street." Bruce used the Cadillac image again in 1984 on "Pink Cadillac."
Springsteen wrote this to energize his live shows and balance off the ballads on The River.
