Terminus Eldorado
Ted Nugent · Scream Dream [1980]
She had no place to go
Grounded for the weekend
Her daddy done told her no
All alone with the TV set
Thinkin' of things to do
Gonna call up her best girlfriend
'Cause maybe she could do it too
Daddy bought a brand new car
Shiny red as can be
Convertible top and a CB too
Well maybe he got it for me
She got the nerve, she got the keys
Take it for a little ride
Ain't old enough to drive alone
But she just couldn't stay inside
TERMINUS
HA, HA, HA
NA, HA, HA, HA, HA
Should have listened to your daddy little girl
So they cruise downtown to the local run
Showi off the new Cadillac
A little high maybe do or die
She ain't goin to make it back
There's a big red Eldorado
Much too fast for her
Forgot about tomorrow
That much is for sure
Oh Oh
She did not see the tandem, gravel truck
Passin on the curve
Too much fun, too little luck
She didn't have time to swerve
Terminus, Terminus, Terminus Eldorado
Terminus, Terminus, Terminus Eldorado
Terminus, Terminus, Terminus Eldorado
It's all over for you girl
Nooooo moooore
Should have listened to yo papa
Now you'll be payin the price bitch
The crows will be pickin' at your flesh and
you don't have control of the sitiation
HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA
HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA
Good riddens, baby
Bye, Bye
Bye, Bye, Baby
HA, HA
NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA, NA
