About the Artist
Lyrics
[Verse 1] One day, a visitor took a trip through my town We all were dancing 'til he took the beat away Come to think of it, he thought of every last detail Slipped out late one night Completely out of sight Left his message etched into my brain [Verse 2] And now the gates are closed on the road of plenty That fist comes pounding down, you feel it every day It's hard to really know if you are full or empty Here it comes again You think of your old friends But now they're not so easily found [Verse 3] Me and my old Corvette, we were flying through the night Chasing my blonde lover down Skyline She saw that buck and then her taillights flashed to avoid the crash It was way too late When I hit the brakes And we went screaming with a screeching sound [Verse 4] I was talking to my friend, telling him I lucked out He smiled at me and said, "I'm glad you feel that way" And when I wrote that down on a piece of paper Beneath a garbage heap Down upon the street A mariachi band began to play [Verse 5] In El Dorado town, there lives a great bullfighter His eyes are screaming blue, his hair is red as blood And when the gate goes up, the crowd gets so excited Then he comes dancing out Dressed in gold lamé He kills the bull and lives another day
