From out of the night & into the dawn,
the rose lighted road stretches on & on & on
The carpenters are knockin it up as I come into view...
How this town grows!
I've been searchin for them streets of gold
I don't know but this may be the day that Eldorado is paved with clay
A voice calls from the burning hot,
"It ain't that good but you'll know what you've got"

There's always a sign with a portion that's blown away
It points to home...
I'm not alone on this lost highway
Right from the start I knew that I was running from you
How do I know?
I went searchin for them streets of gold
I don't know but this may be the day that Eldorado is paved with clay
A voice calls from the burning hot,
"It ain't that good but you'll know what you've got"
