Lyrics: 
DADDY HAD A GOOD YEAR
MAMA GAVE THE ALL CLEAR
DADDY HEADED INTO TOWN
WASN’T GONE A LONG WHILE
COMING FROM A HALF MILE
WE ALREADY HEARD THE SOUND
IT WAS A STEEL MARSHMALLOW
BUTTERCREAM YELLOW
DENTED ALL ACROSS THE HOOD
DENTED IN ON BOTH DOORS
DADDY SAID A HAILSTORM
REALLY DOES A WALLET GOOD
ELDORADO
LORD HOW DADDY LOVED THAT CAR
ELDORADO
BIGGER THAN THE WHOLE FRONT YARD
CATALINA
STATION WAGON WASN’T NO FUN
ELDORADO
SHINING IN THE GOLDEN SUN
IT WAS A CADILLAC, FRONT TO BACK
MATCHING YELLOW HUBCAPS
PADDED YELLOW VINYL ROOF
LONGER THAN A SCHOOL BUS
LORD IT WAS A BIG CUSS
SWEAR THAT THING WAS BULLETPROOF
IT HAD SEATS LIKE A SOFA
LEATHER ALL OVER
GENUINE FAKE WOOD TRIM
GOING FOR OUR FIRST RIDE
DOWN ALONG THE LAKESIDE
SAW MY MAMA SMILE AT HIM
THEY SAY YOU CAN’T BUY HAPPINESS
BUT DADDY WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU YES
YES HAPPINESS, IT WILL PREVAIL
JUST WAIT UNTIL IT GOES ON SALE
ELDORADO
DIMPLES REALLY MAKE THE SMILE
ELDORADO
TWENTY GALLONS TO THE MILE
