El Dorado

(Three, four)

♪

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

To El Dorado, hell if I know if you're still alive

There's a note in the glove box of your drive

El Dorado, hell if they know the difference in a year

And a man I wish was still by my side

♪

17 years old

How our grins look scary bravе

My mama always said we look so handsome when wе 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 drivin' through

In El Dorado, hell if I know if you're still alive

There's a note in the glove box of your drive

El Dorado, hell if they know the difference in a year

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 he had finally headed home
