El Dorado
Hunter Brothers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah just shine it up, got underneath the hood
Make sure it's runnin' right yeah ain't it sounding good
Girl what you doing now? How 'bout we try it out?
Wanna take a little ride ride, show you what it's all about
Come on baby lay back, just like that
Get them legs on the leather seat
Stones on the 8 track
Top down on the two lane, we can go any ol' road
Head way out watch the sun sink down
What's your favouite colour?
We can paint us up a new town
Just us kicking dust, girl we can go
Yeah roll in my El Dorado
Roll in my El Dorado
Now we could take my truck
Yeah it'll get us there
The way you look tonight, girl I don't really care
You wanna mix it up, you wanna turn some heads
You in the jet black Cadillac
Makes me wanna lay back, just like that
Get them legs on the leather seat
Seager on the 8 track
Top down on the two lane, we can go any ol' road
Head way out watch the sun sink down
What's your favouite colour?
We can paint us up a new town
Just us kicking dust, girl we can go
Yeah roll in my El Dorado
Roll in my El Dorado
Lay back, just like that
Get them legs on the leather seat
Skynrd on the 8 track
Top down on the two lane, we can go any ol' road
Head way out watch the sun sink down
What's your favouite colour?
We can paint us up a new town
Just us kicking dust, girl we can go
Yeah roll in my El Dorado
Roll in my El Dorado




Roll in my El Dorado
My El Dorado

The song is ultimately about the joys of living a carefree life and the importance of taking time out to have fun.


The chorus of "El Dorado" repeats the phrase "roll in my El Dorado," which is a reference to the vintage Cadillac El Dorado, a luxurious car that was produced by the American car manufacturer Cadillac from 1953 to 2002. The El Dorado was known for its powerful engine, smooth ride, and its iconic tail fins, which were a design feature of Cadillacs in the 1950s and 1960s. The car was a symbol of luxury and success in its time, and it's no surprise that the song's lyrics celebrate the car as a vehicle of adventure and romance.
