Red El Dorado (Solo Honeymoon)
(Bob Rea, Ben Rea, Jim Quealy)

Lili ran out in her pretty white dress
Pulling that train through the Mississippi mud
Billy just stood with his mouth hangin open
After sayin I do
Mama said “papa, you best go get her”
Whole congregation staring at the door
Daddy came back and said “son, forget her”
Preacher dropped the bible on the altar floor
When he heard the engine roar

A Red El Dorado; Peddle to the metal
Tearin’ down the road; Kickin’ up gravel
Draggin’ them tin cans all the way down to Baton Rouge
For a Solo Honeymoon

Mama locked herself in the bathroom crying
She won’t come out ‘til everybody’s’s gone
No ones in a hurry cause they’re all dressed up
And they got nothing better to do
You can find Billy on his old Cat tractor
A 12 guage and a bottle of shine
Tearin’ up the county in a black tuxedo
Shootin’ up highway signs,
Tryin’ to get her off of his mind

Red El Dorado; Peddle to the metal
Tearin down the road; Kickin up gravel
Draggin them tin cans all the way down to Baton Rouge
For a Solo Honeymoon

Billy’s on his way
He’s goin’ down to bring her back
He knows that he’ll never replace
A vintage Cadillac like that

Red El Dorado; Metallic steel
Leather seats; Chrome Spoke Wheels
He should‘ve known better
Never should have let her hold those keys

Red Eldorado; Peddle to the metal
Tearin’ down the road; Kickin’ up gravel
He’ll be draggin’ them tin cans
All the way back from Baton Rouge for a Solo Honeymoon
