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
