Eldorado Blue - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Eighteen commencement day

Friends moved on but she stayed

In Eldorado

And married the boy next door

Work first shift by the interstate

Selling hot coffee and giving out change for the payphone

Never needed too much more

And everyday someone would ask

Why don't you leave us all behind?

She looked up, just kinda laughed

Said 'Don't you think it crossed my mind?'

But there ain't nobody waiting down in Arkansas

And I don't know no one in old Baton Rouge

Ain't no way I'm going down to Wichita

And leaving Eldorado blue

Harvest moon, the radio

Shooting stars on a gravel road miles from nowhere

It don't get no better than that

City lights burn bright they pull you in

Blind your eyes to what matters

You won't catch me in none of that

And this old town shuts on down with the setting of the sun

The life I lead's the one for me but it ain't for everyone

But there ain't nobody waiting down in Arkansas

And I don't know no one in old Baton Rouge

Ain't no way I'm going down to Wichita

And leaving Eldorado blue

Ain't nobody waiting down in Arkansas

And I don't know no one in old Baton Rouge

Ain't no way I'm going down to Wichita

And leaving Eldorado blue
