Lyrics
Black Eldorado
Driving down the road doing Eighty -five
Living real and bold / man this guy can drive
Man you got to wonder/ what's under the hood
Hi-beams- fast dreams/baby baby lets drive to Hollywood
He's got a black Eldorado (Black Eldorado)
He's got a shiny black Eldorado (Black Eldorado)
Hes got a black Eldorado (Black Eldorado)
He's got a black Eldorado (Black Eldorado)
Says he drives it just as fast as he can
1967 the closest year to heaven/tinted windows fins in the back
For barrels-Christmas carols (Got his shades on) /room for the choir in the back
When the light line is blurring/ and the V-8 is purring
Man the world is a beautiful place
(chorus)
Gets where he's going/ with the metal paint glowing
His car wants in the race
High class- made to last/ pedal down drive real fast
It's gone without a trace
When the light line is blurring/ and the V-8 is purring
Man the world is a beautiful place
(Chorus) 2x
