Cities Made of Gold

Lyrics
I was headed west through El Paso I'd broke down by the side of the road Guitar, a smoking car, and an empty bottle The sun was sinking through the blowing dust A truck passed by, then backed up She said, "Tough luck. Do you want a ride?" Searching for El Dorado The days were hot, the desert nights were cold A modern day Coronado Looking for cities made of gold She held the gun while I watched the door The bank teller laid on the floor We cleaned out the cash from seven highway towns Midnight driving with the devil's moon We'd drink champagne in our hotel room Making stacks of money, then we'd knock 'em down Searching for El Dorado The days were hot, the desert nights were cold A modern day Coronado Looking for cities made of gold (INSTRUMENTAL) I woke up in the morning, she was gone I heard the breaking news, she left the TV on No description of her, but I saw my face on the screen She took the money, she's on the run She left the truck and the stolen gun I remembered her words, "Tough luck. Do you want a ride?" Searching for El Dorado The days were hot, the desert nights were cold A modern day Coronado Looking for cities made of gold She's still looking For cities made of gold
