Cadillac Dreaming from 1985. Album by Midnight Mirage
"Cadillac Dreaming" is a smooth, late-night anthem that invites listeners to join a dreamy drive through the quiet streets of Miami. The song begins with a radio DJ setting the perfect mood, welcoming everyone to a night ride filled with music and freedom. The intro instantly transports you to a world where the night is young, and the open road calls.
The first verse paints a serene picture of cruising under the moonlight, the cool night air rushing in through open windows. The hum of the engine and the peaceful silence of midnight create a sense of calm, as if nothing else matters but the journey ahead. The pre-chorus adds to the magic, with the radio playing favorite tunes, making the drive feel effortless and filled with possibility.
In the chorus, the idea of "Cadillac dreaming" takes center stage. The image of gliding through Miami’s highways in a Cadillac underlines the luxury and freedom of the night, where the road seems endless and the ride flawless. The combination of Miami’s warm glow and the hypnotic rhythm of the music creates a perfect cruising vibe.
The second verse takes the listener deeper into this escapist fantasy. The city fades away, and the moon becomes the driver’s guide, cutting through the dark with a sense of purpose and adventure. In this moment, the speaker is lost in their Cadillac dreams, driving until they leave their mark on the night.
"Cadillac Dreaming" is a laid-back, feel-good track about the freedom of the open road, with the radio as the perfect companion and the night as a canvas for endless possibilities. It captures the essence of cruising through Miami, where the ride is smooth and the dreams are endless.

Lyrics
[talking on the radio]
Good evening, welcome to Midnight Mirage and thank you for tuning in. We're live from Miami and it's a good time to take a drive. Enjoy the music!
[Verse 1]
Engine’s purring, the night is young,
The moon shines, our journey’s begun.
Windows down, feel the cool night air,
In the hush of midnight, we’re free from care.
[verse 1]
In the hush of midnight, we're free from care.
[Pre-Chorus]
Radio’s playing our favorite song,
On this night drive, we can’t go wrong
Radio is playing favorite song, on this night drive we can't go wrong
Radio is playing favorite song, on this night drive we can't go wrong
Cadillac dreams and Miami sun, cruising highways will go on
[Chorus]
Radio is playing favorite song, on this night drive we can't go wrong
Cadillac dreams and Miami sun, cruising highways will go on
Radio is playing favorite song, on this night drive we can't go wrong
Cadillac dreams and Miami sun, cruising highways will go on
[Verse 2]
Radio’s playing classics, as the city fades away
With the moonlight as my compass, I’ll drive until the day
Cutting through the night, while my headlights pierce the dark
In my Cadillac dreams, I’m driving my car
I'll keep on driving, untill I leave my mark
[Pre-Chorus]
Radio’s playing our favorite song,
On this night drive, we can’t go wrong
Radio is playing favorite song, on this night drive we can't go wrong
Radio is playing favorite song, on this night drive we can't go wrong
Cadillac dreams and Miami sun, cruising highways will go on
[Chorus]
Radio is playing favorite song, on this night drive we can't go wrong
Cadillac dreams and Miami sun, cruising highways will go on
Radio is playing favorite song, on this night drive we can't go wrong
Cadillac dreams and Miami sun, cruising highways will go on
