Eldora Lyrics

Can you believe three years ago
We were deep in love and deep in snow?
We were Stage Stop beer and midnight blue
In that queen-size bed, I swore to you
But we both knew that lie we had to keep

It's eleven hundred miles from Tennessee to Colorado
And I'm already there here in my mind
Got almost everything I need in this packed up El Dorado
Oh Eldora, I'll be seeing you tonight

I just crossed the Kansas line
And God, it took me back in time
When I was headed east instead of west
Just holding on to doing my best
Counting down them mile marker signs

It's eleven hundred miles from Tennessee to Colorado
And I'm already there here in my mind
Got almost everything I need in this packed up El Dorado
Oh Eldora, I'll be seeing you tonight

In the distance, I see Denver lights
Between the pines and Bingham Red Rock high
Even nights like that couldn't save us then
So we said goodbye for what we did
But we were just two kids with too much life to live

It's eleven hundred miles from Tennessee to Colorado
And I'm already there here in my mind
Got almost everything I need in this packed up El Dorado
Oh Eldora, I'll be seeing you tonight
