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

Chorus:
        D#    A#
To El Dorado hell if I know
Cm                G#
If you’re still alive
           D#          A#                Cm G#
There’s a note in the glovebox of your drive
     D#            A#
El Dorado hell if they know
     Cm              G#
The difference in a year
      D#              A#          Cm
And a man I wish was still by my side

Seventeen years old
How our grins look scary brave
My mama 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
drivin' through

Chorus:
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 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
