lyrics

Dodged a bullet, botched a robbery in El Dorado
Sometimes the move that pays is just to stay...still
In the stillness if you feel a rising fever
Money's in the trunk on Horseshoe Hill
Horseshoe Hill Road

Circle round now, sing it loud come all ye globe trotters
Sometimes the jump's a high one take the leap...still
If the leapin' brings a faith restorin' fever
Preachers daughters freedom dings on Horseshoe Hill
Horseshoe Hill Road

If you are what you drink pour me an Old Fashioned
That don't have to change and I'm so glad
I keep livin' in the past so my air can breathe at last
Only there where I can be with you again

Oh I know it can't control it oh, El Dorado
A song's just for the birds but it's a call still
If the callin' brings a pickin' peckish fever
Noisy miner just hit gold on Horseshoe Hill
Horseshoe Hill Road

Now for the job the best one is the one that knows it needs bein' done
Most the time that's been you - I'll take over now until my turn is through
'Til my turn's through

If you are what you drink pour me an Old Fashioned
That don't have to change and I'm so glad
I keep livin' in the past so my air can breathe at last
Only there that I can be with you again
Only there that I can be with you again
