lyrics

Goodbye El Dorado, Golden City By The Sea
Destination for the Millions, The millions who came before me
So I’m like all the others, seeking answers, fame and gold
Clinging to a dream
No matter how ragged or old
The living here is easy and the weather’s mostly fine
The people aren’t so wicked
And it’s sunny most all of the time
So Goodbye El Dorado
I might see you again
Might drop back for a visit
A vist now and then
So Goodbye El Dorado, my time here is done
You’ve been a good companion and I’ve been a dutiful son
I’ve learned all your lessons and the teaching time is done
Pack up and move on toward the rising sun
Goodbye El Dorado, regrets I’ve had a few
But I’ll them all promptly, as we strike out for something new
Treasures lost and sometimes won, thank you it was almost fun
El Dorado in the sun, You’ve lost another one
