"Eldorado Blue" lyrics - BALSAM RANGE

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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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?'

[Chorus:]
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

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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
And leaving Eldorado blue
