El Dorado 04:17

Open my eyes, holy shit it’s red alert I got like 6 minutes before i gotta be at work so i Look to my left to see with whom the night was spent Head’s a wreck, hair’s a mess, with the smell of regret Yo what the fuck did i do last night i drank a few too many ‘til that 2 was a 9 I shared a junk futon with a girl i just met Failed to make stealthy exit dodging shoes and death threats So i barrel out the door just to make my escape I rev my baby up because i’m already late Weaving in and out of traffic pedal held to the floor Piecing out the trainwreck of the night before I think it started out with some doubles beer pong Then some time in the night somebody puked on the lawn Some homies grabbed the gloves and boxed it out While i sparked a fatty blunt and got high on the couch You better bring your own beer but you best forget the drama you’re in our house now and i don’t care if you don’t wanna Line these shots up or smoke a bowl of marijuana We ‘re here to party tonight and aint nobody gonna stop The el dorado house I’ve always been just a little bit hopeless in my romanticisms. I find it hard to focus On the big picture shit, always wondering if Imma make it out alive at the end of this fifth But i just keep on chuggin while i watch the bubbles rise Drinkin problems away, along with the lies I’ve had fed to me since i started growin up Too many nights spent wondering if i am enough But now i don’t got time to remember all that I got a dream to chase without any clear path I’m following the footsteps that were placed here before But every step i take i walk into a closed door Then i lift my head and i’m back in the garage Screamin out “BALLS BACK!” on some doubles beer pong Found 4 dudes KO’d on the floor in the hall Somebody got me on their snap twerking up on the wall You better bring your own beer but you best forget the drama you’re in our house now and i don’t care if you don’t wanna Line these shots up or smoke a bowl of marijuana We ‘re here to party tonight and aint nobody gonna stop The el dorado house You better bring your own beer but you best forget the drama you’re in our house now and i don’t care if you don’t wanna Line these shots up or smoke a bowl of marijuana We ‘re here to party tonight and aint nobody gonna stop The el dorado house

Dutchman's Curse 04:58

I got stuck down a back road in southern Arizona Started out as a clear and pleasant drive I was screaming out for God to try to come and save me Like them boys caught stuck back here in 75' Well, I wouldn't say that I call myself a superstitious person But I've been looking for the Dutchman for all my life They ran the gold on a trail down to Northern Tijuana Bought up all the quila that they could find Well, They say the road to hell is always paved with good intentions But they have never seen a place so dry and desolate They say you couldn't thread a camel through a miners needle They haven't seen the gold the mountain has to offer yet I got stuck down a back road in southern Arizona Started out as a clear and pleasant drive I was screaming out for God to try to come and save me Like them boys caught stuck back here in 75' They never washed their hands of blood down in the salty river They never seen the vultures lurking in the sky The barren desert has a tendency to make you crazy You're luck if you even make it out alive I got stuck down a back road in southern Arizona Started out as a clear and pleasant drive I was screaming out for God to try to come and save me Like them boys caught stuck back here in 75' Got stuck down a back road in southern Arizona Started out as a clear and pleasant drive I was screaming out for God to try to come and save me Like them boys caught stuck back here Like them boys caught stuck back here Like them boys caught stuck back here in 75' Ohhhhhh

Been startin off my mornings with an IPA I got enough of the green for the DEA to come down on me And tell me how to live I might be outta gas but it’s A OK Give it a couple of days and baby i’ll get paid Then we can go Til we run low again If you worry about what's coming tomorrow You might just miss what today will bring Moments come and go with the highs and lows Some moments lost, the ones we miss the most But you can’t have a rainbow without the rain I’m up before the world, taking hits from the bong Strum a couple chords while i sing this song Simple melodies Keep my spirit free And i know i’m not weak but i don’t feel strong If they’re always right i guess i gotta be wrong Save it, please Don’t try to “rescue” me If you worry about what's coming tomorrow You might just miss what today will bring Moments come and go with the highs and lows Some moments lost, the ones we miss the most But you can’t have a rainbow without the rain If you worry about what's coming tomorrow You might just miss what today will bring Moments come and go with the highs and lows Some moments lost, the ones we miss the most But you can’t have a rainbow without the rain

What time will you be home I don’t know if truth be told Lately it feels like I'm driving in circles It’s getting late I’ve had no rest Just some time to second guess It feels more and more like I’m running away My eyes are filled with doubt Pain I can’t live without Even though you know I know This isn’t the first time Don’t stop cause the black tops ending Don’t lose any speed you gotta pick it up Push me over the edge and I’m going down You can’t stop me now Just a few more miles to go boy Fingers out the side you gotta stick em’ up Push me over the edge and I’m going down You can’t stop me now I’m flying by the signs I’m passing every street light I’m hauling ass yeah it’s something to see A line for every regret And then a long kept secret The road opens up yeah it's swallowing me The hours take their toll turn up the radio Rolling down the window hit the highway And I’m gone, I’m gone Don’t stop cause the black tops ending Don’t lose any speed you gotta pick it up Push me over the edge and I’m going down You can’t stop me now Just a few more miles to go boy Fingers out the side you gotta stick em’ up Push me over the edge and I’m going down You can’t stop me now I will drive all fucking night Just because I can Darkness has a way of showing places I ain’t been Leave a light on in the window a beacon for my sin Just when I thought I was home I’m right back here again I’m losing more or less There is no second best The rubber on the ground smells a lot like your cheap perfume Don’t stop cause the black tops ending Don’t lose any speed you gotta pick it up Push me over the edge and I’m going down You can’t stop me now Just a few more miles to go boy Fingers out the side you gotta stick em’ up Push me over the edge and I’m going down You can’t stop me now You can’t stop me now You can’t stop me now
