Zach Bryan - El Dorado

Did you ever make it back to El Dorado
I’d call and ask but hell if I know
If I still got your number or if you care
You moved away when you was younger
Was it escape or was it hunger
Kansas ain’t no place to be a man
You used to say you’d settle down
With that kind girl from school in town
She was gone before you got back home
To El dorado hell if I know
If you’re still alive
There’s a note in the glovebox of your drive
El Dorado hell if they know
The difference in a year
And a man I wish was still by my side
17 years old how our grins look scary brave
My momma always said we look so handsome when we shave
You used to say if not you then who
And you’d go a thousand times or two
Now your names up on a sign in el dorado driving through
In El dorado hell if I know
If you’re still alive
There’s a note in the glovebox of your drive
El Dorado hell if they know
The difference in a year
And a man I wish was still by my side
You’re in every last memory alive
And I called last week to talk
To my favorite old devil dog
They told he had finally headed home

5:40am Australia time, have had a few beers (maybe more then a few) and smoked meat and have spent my night listening to this album on replay. Tears and cheers. Bloody beautiful this album is.

[@patsully2413]

Lose one friend. Lose all friends. Lose yourself. War is a brutal thing.

[@user-to2rp1lh9g]

This song hits different on Memorial day.

[@nikkimcduffey5220]

Had to leave work early so I could sit by myself and listen to the whole album. Man... he's a Godsend

[@Crispy44652]

The new album is so damn good. There’s nothing like it lyrically and instrumentally. He needs to go on a navy tour for sailors, marines, vets, and civil servants, there wouldn’t be an empty seat in the house.

[@reallyeden]

This song hit me when my son and I listened to it the night of the release...made me instantly think of my brother who was born in El Dorado, KS and died in Oct. 2011 due to PTSD. SFC Lyle W. Zahorsky, we miss you so much. The line "17 years old .." my mom was 17 when she had him. Most of our family lives in the city of El Dorado or area. Damn, this gives me goosebumps in the 100° Kansas heat.

[@deluluXcoco]

hi! I live in Eldorado! well part time 💀. I’m so sorry about your brother!

[@jessicamowdy7610]

[@arthursims6709]

My big sister and I were listening to this song on the way to Illinois from Missouri! Zach Bryan never misses with these songs! This one is by far my favorite!❤

[@hillaryraple3902]

Our hometown. They do hang Vets pictures/names downtown in El Dorado. ♥️

[@brailynhignite3364]

I’m listening to every song before I go to sleep and will listen too then again tomorrow the next day and the next

RIP Garrett Brewster. Thank you for your service.

[@robertgprichard2686]

You ever hear a song for the first time and before it’s over know you’re gonna have it on repeat for a hundred more?

[@hbyrge3816]

just so my boys know who the real fan is love this man ,so glad to see you at rock the south my brother

[@shanedriggers5416]

Zach will never fall off

[@HOOKEMHORNSGAL1978]

As a former Marine wife and military family member, this song had me crying down I-95. 😢

[@swaggynoodels7585]

praying for you 💗 as a daughter/granddaughter ik how you feel

[@Savage-Henry]

You got it devil dog.

[@saranjesse23]

18 years old, first time I’d really been outside Missouri, headed down I-95 to FT Bragg. First time I’d ever seen pine trees so big. I miss those days…

[@darealKzn]

Windows down cruising listening to Zach Bryan❤️🥹

[@perez13691]

Does anyone else feel like youve already heard this song in your past life before? Like your soul has bin craving it snice you where born. Like your subconscious has bin playing this in the background of your dreams? Idk maybe its just me. Zach. Brother. Never stop making music. All love man.

He’s got a few of these but this is definitely one of em

Honestly it has that old country feel to it. I could see someone like Willie seeing this back in the day

[@joshbreitigan5879]

Hey Zach, Saw your performance of El Dorado in Wichita, just wanted you to know you didn't mess up, just a beautiful unexpected moment of silence to pay tribute. I hope Wichita treated you well, amazing show! Thank you so so much!

[@user-kn7bu4jl7e]

I was there too! It was great!

[@matthewmunnich6603]

The day has come

[@miaversace147]

FINALLY

[@austinnachbar1725]

I listen to new songs 10 times or so before i move onto a new one so i can fully process it and engulf myself in the shoes of the writer....as soon as I heard that fiddle with the guitar - i knew i'd be stuck on this one longer than 10 times. A red dirt song with a fiddle will always have me bro.

[@johnnyodell4140]

This album is…everything we want life to be! Keep keepin on this shit goes hard

[@ryb1654]

Probably the best I’ve ever heard

[@paigebyerly8059]

Ive played this whole album on repeat everyday since the night of release. His voice is just beautiful.

[@Revinjozza]

This is insane! Zach always got our backs

[@savagewood3048]

Damn right my Brother, and may we enjoy such a gift of heaven to the ears, and soul to the heart.

[@youknow5344]

Everything he touches is gold

[@_TheOnlyMcb94]

Nothing beats the feeling of discovering another country banger to put on repeat for the next week or two, smiled when i heard this song. We've been blessed with great albums this year ! Zach, Chase Rice, Morgan Wallen, Larry Fleet !! Whats next ?!

[@Savage-Henry]

What’s good by Morgan waller? I’ve tried listening to him but his stuff is kinda boring. The stuff I’ve heard anyways everybody talks about that band but it kinda seems that popish country JUSTfrom what I’ve heard. Everything else people have been aces on everything else.

[@user-mx3pl4wv4x]

Dare I say the BEST SONG EVER!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@zachshannon6989]

Something about a guitar and violin man. Made for each other

[@andrewmaddux2443]

Born and raised in Eldorado, KS. BADASS SONG

[@kaydencooper619]

Agreed from a fellow eldorado native

[@Hrt._.Bttrfly]

Love this song sm. never hear it until one Friday at my uncles funeral for the opening song. They also said he listened to this ONE song over 60,000 times. I haven't stopped listening to it since then.. that's why I love this song sm

[@jaydenschell611]

Great way to start a rodeo weekend

[@user-xi1do7wp8f]

I was actally in El Dorado, KS when I got a text about this song! I immediately had to listen to it.......and what a great song it is!

[@kaydencooper619]

Didn’t expect anyone to ever write a song about my small hometown El Dorado Kansas

[@relaxed_borgir]

I just got this album on CD yesterday for my birthday and I've been listening to it non stop, I have it playing thru my huge Bluetooth speaker bcs I can't put a CD in it

[@aks0826]

I listen to this song almost everyday, it’s nothing I’ve experienced but his story is kinda like my dads, my dad passed in 2022 when I was 13 due to a work accident but his story (Zach Bryan’s) makes me think of my dads story. My dad went through boot camp to go into the marines but his mom (my grandma) was diagnosed with cancer and he dropped everything to go home to her ❤

[@Savage-Henry]

I hope this guy found his friend. It’s pretty obvious that’s who it’s about. I think we all got one of our friends we miss. Shit hits home.

[@bobbarkley4509]

Unfortunately this song is about Garrett Brewster who had passed away

[@AyrAlliance]

Wish i had friends to listen to this beautiful album together

[@nikkimcduffey5220]

Thank you Zach❤️❤️❤️

[@colegridley9392]

Heya Zach I just wanted to say that your music has got me through a lot it calms me down and such so I just wanna say your the best artist and thank you, never quit brotha

No man he is right! To the locals they get it. The place he is speaking about is called El Dorado! But that's for us that know I guess 😂❤

[@7spanky47]

They have banners of the local vets hanging from poles down Main Street and Central Avenue. The friend he is talking about is from El Do. Songs hit different when you know who they are about. Garrett was a great kid.
