El Dorado

AlphabetLyrics.com


Did you ever make it back to el dorado?
I'd call and ask, but hell if I know
If I still got your number or if you care
You moved away when you was younger
Was it escape, or was it hunger?
Kansas ain't no place to be a man
You used to say you'd settle down
With that kind girl from school in town
She was gone before you got back home.

El dorado, hell if I know
If you're still alive
There's a note in the glovebox of your drive
El dorado hell if they know
The difference in a hero
And a man I wish was still by my side.

Seventeen years-old, how our grins look scary brave
My momma always said we look so handsome when we shave
You used to say if not you then who
And you'd go a thousand times or two
Now your name's up on a sign in el dorado driving through.

In el dorado, hell if I know
If you're still alive
There's a note in the glovebox of your drive
El dorado, hell if they know
The difference in a hero
And a man I wish was still by my side
You're in every last memory alive.

And I called last week to talk
To my favorite old devil dog
They told me he had finally headed home.
