Lyrics
In the glory days of summer
We walked together hand in hand
In the fields of El Dorado
we made our plans,
I was your man.
When you touched me
I was silent
Never felt this way before
Did not know there was another
Who’d made it through
your hidden door
Now I’m drink from a dry river
The thought of losing you
Makin’ me shiver
I guess I need to stand and deliver
Right now.
Feeling a low pain
Riding that SOUL train,
Hoping that stupid ol’ Cupid
Comes through
With an arrow for you.
When you were young and so inviting
I tried show you that I cared
That day you offered me your pleasures,
I could not keep, the buried treasure
I left behind.
Now I’m drinking from a dry river
The thought of losing you
Makin’ me shiver
Guess I need to stand and deliver
Right now.
Feeling a low pain
Riding that SOUL train,
Here’s hoping
I can make it through
Now your shadow walks beside me
A phantom lost in memories
If I can not soothe your anger,
Just let me be
You’ll never see
That I’m drinking one for the road
Taking all my food to go
Driving past the state patrol
Trying to move real slow.
Then I thought I’d seen the light
Stayed with me most of the night…
But I was running on empty
With my gas gauge glowin’ bright !
Now I’m drinking from a dry river
The thought of losing you
Am
Makes me shiver
Guess I need to stand and deliver
Right now
Feeling a low pain
Riding that SOUL train
Here’s hoping that stupid ol’ Cupid
comes through
With my message for you.
With my message for you.
With my message for you.
