El Dorado Video (MV)

(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
But 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 glovebox in 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 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 driving through

In El Dorado, hell if I know if you're still alive
There's a note in the glovebox in 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
