Russ Tolman - Goodbye El Dorado Lyrics

Goodbye El Dorado
Golden city by the sea
Destination for millions
The millions 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 of the time

So goodbye El Dorado
I might see you again
Might drop back for a visit
A visit 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 towards the rising sun

Goodbye El Dorado
Regrets I've had a few
But I'll forget 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
El Dorado in the sun
You've lost another one
