Eli Young Band

We used to pull off Highway 249 Had a cool little place where we'd go and hide on Friday night And get away from the city lights We'd find a little wood and build a fire Somebody'd always bring a couple guitars And we'd take turns singin' songs and watching it...

I heard she asked about me from a friend the other day He said as far as he knew I was doing fine. Memories came back one single moment Like the night she left headed for the state line Call me a dreamer but I'm not afraid to dream In the back of my mind I ca...

Fears and insecurities Tears and apologies Dreams and realities Feelings you still have for me Pain in your lying eyes Your reasons and your alibis Your excuses compromise The way you feel inside Bring it on Bring it on home Bring it on Bring it on...

Baby why you wanna cry? You really oughta know that I Just have to walk away sometimes We're gonna do what lovers do We're gonna have a fight or two But I ain't ever changing my mind Crazy girl, don't you know that I love you? I wouldn't dream of goin...

When it gets too hot in Dallas I need to feel the cool ocean air I need my toes in the sand and a drink in my hand Feel the wind blow through my hair Down on Padre we can bake in the Texas sun Lay out on the beach all day then hit every bar on the i...

I saw the sun set low on that skyline Day was gone I was out of time As I let her walk out and say goodbye And I sat there on that street askin' why I let her drive away.... I let her drive away.... She walked out that door threw that truck in gear I'm standi...

I got a little drunk last night There's something 'bout a midnight rain Staring at the ceiling fan I couldn't get you off my brain I guess I wasn't thinking straight I couldn't tell wrong from right I went ahead and called you up I got a little drunk l...

She's sick of this town, she's sick of that boy Yeah she's sick of dreams that never take flight There's gotta be more than the same old story So she's gonna turn the page tonight And turn the radio up (turn the radio up) Roll the windows down She got a...

Another empty promise A good intention from the start You failed to mention Our love could be this hard I'm tired of talking Don't have nothing left to say Well maybe sometime We'll sift through the ashes one day I can't lean on you 'cause I fall right over...

Way back on the radio dial The fire got lit inside a bright eyed child Every note just wrapped around his soul From steel guitars to Memphis all the way to rock and roll Oh I can hear 'em playin I can hear the ringing of a beat up old guitar Oh I c...

I have this vision in my head Of your little black suitcase lying on the bed You standing by the window staring into space Looking everywhere but the tears rolling down my face Filling up the room with silence so we wouldn't have to say goodbye But every othe...

Eternal flame came on the radio And I remember how you loved it so Memories sneak up on me, wherever I go A car like you used to drive Pulled beside me today at the light Chances to break and cry wherever I go And you want me to be strong, any less just show...

I wish I was famous Yeah, I wish I was famous 'Cause if I was famous You'd know my name I've seen you downtown I've walked up to you But the words wouldn't come out And you never knew 'Cause I'm just a guy just down the street I'm just a face you've never se...

In the picture you're right beside me Arms around my neck and eyes like you’ll never leave A love lover, a sweet thing I know we agreed but I think I'll call you anyway Well hello it's just me A little distance and I lost something in between I've waited fore...

She walked in dressed in red Didn't take long to lose my head All this time I never knew There were girls with eyes so blue Certain of herself, she walked around As if she knew she owned this town Talking to her I'd have never guessed End of the night I'd kis...

Waging war against my sins It's been a while since I talked to him I keep a bible by my bed But it's been a while since it's been read I don't know why I've let things come this far.... It's hard to ask him to forgive When you live a life you don't want to l...

She's got a bumper like a billboard Covered in stickers of her favorite bands She's got a handful of records that she turns to When she needs to land She's a Saturday night parade through the streets That all eyes come to see including me She carries memories...

Just like some old romantic movie Everything’s in black and white We just couldn’t get along together So we’re lettin’ go tonight Before we let the credits roll Here’s a toast to the days of old yeah… Here’s to you, to all the things we held on to Secrets tha...

He never knew their names and never really cared Lying to himself, he was never just a young kid scared Living on his own with no one to hold on to Nowhere to go and nothing to do But lie awake and pray that one-day Someone will come his way All He knows are...

I've shed alot of years and tears In this broke down used up town Bled my heart on these city streets As strangers lay their money down I'm home I've never known a love My soul was searching for Now I look into that great big blue Feel nothing I've felt befor...

I remember when your heart depended on me What was perfect for you, was perfect for me If something happened we could shake it off Like we were cut from the same cloth And I remember when your heart depended on me Now you’re tellin’ everyone You’ve made it on...

If it feels so right Feels safe and sound How can the sky be falling down If it's all good love Two good hearts How can we fall so far apart How can hearts be breaking in the middle of the night How can strings come unwound when they've held so tight On the r...

I see you strutting in here girl with one thing on your mind Your gonna try to get the best of any man you find Girl keep on walking, walking on past me I've been around the block a time, I call them like I see I'm not accusing you of being insincere Before y...

Some people wish Some people dance Some never take a chance Some people steal Just for the thrill And some drink to get their fill But I love you Some people preach Some people write And some choose to just stay quiet Some people teach Some people roam Some w...

In one moment you gave it up You decided that this wasn't love after all We showed the world we gave it a try It didn't work and God knows why And now you're off to find someone new Wonderin' if there's still someone for you And I still think it's me I...

I'm in love as in I'm crazy Yeah baby shake me through and through.... I'm in love as in I'm fallin' Hear Heaven callin' me and you.... Girl you don't know what you did to me No one could ever tie me down I like being free But all that's changed...........

No you never were one for resting easy were ya So much that when they told me how you left us here behind That I didn’t even bat an eye believing In words I should have said to make you stay but couldn’t find I just hoped that road would one day watch you wal...

...just add moonlight. Kisses are sweeter and the world seems right With that big yellow ball shining in her eyes If you want to make her fall in love tonight, just add moonlight There's a secret all the poets know There's something special in the way i...

If I ever got that ’56 that I always wanted, I’d drive down to LA Cruise along some beach front road playin’ “Surfin’ U.S.A.” If I ever won the lottery, I’d buy a house in the hills I’d give some of it to charity, and I’d spend the rest of it on thrills But I...

Going through the change, when it rains it pours these days Nothing stays the same, you gotta find new ways To swim upstream, while you chase your dreams And in between you keep your sanity Waiting on life to Level Waiting on something stable Maybe soon I'll...

Baby who do you think is better than you Do you know everything that they go through Have they taken you on their closet tour You'll find a few skeletons I'm sure You think everyone's kickin' up their feet When you're sold the life of easy street You gotta ma...

Here I go, another night making my rounds To every single bar in town By 2 am, I will drown away my worries And set my troubled mind at ease Hey bartender, how 'bout another glass Looks like another night, me and Jack It's been this way ever since she left me...

I noticed something about me I didn't know, I didn't see Back when I tend to take for granted The ones who had made a man of me That kid I was, he had no clue That he'd make the man Standing right here in front of you I was born my old man's son My momma's se...

The night time air's like a baptism And the way I'm feeling right now is strange I think it's time to make some changes 'Cause right now my outlook has changed I feel like a dance that's lost it's rhythm A compass that can't fine it's way But there's a headli...

Fell in love with an Oklahoma girl She stole my heart took over my world She lit my cigarette and never had to ask One look and I was gone like that That's ok I don't mind This Texas boy just might find something in that Oklahoma girl Met that girl she took...

Red light traffic standing still Keeping me from you Tough days always in this town but this one will soon be through Cause right around the bend on the porch there by the drive There's an angel out there waiting to bring me back to life She always saves me fr...

I found it outside of Birmingham headed to another place Took me five hundred miles to get to the bottom of my suitcase It was in between a pair of jeans and my old black winter coat It took my breath away when I read what she wrote May the wheels keep tu...

Well baby since I met you, I've never been the same There's never been a woman made me feel this way And I know days are harder, and I know things have changed But baby goodbye you know I just can't say Where'd all the love go I need you to know I'm singing...

Heartache hurts and you can’t move on Blue skies fade to a gray sky dawn Trying to find a place in this town Where you don’t feel six feet underground You’re so tired, you’re so scared Defeated by the troubles you can’t repair When this world comes cr...

The room filled with the stain of a hundred cigarettes Sober through the haze, just one silhouette Fumble with the keys in the door But don't turn the light on Don't turn the light on We don't need to wait for our eyes to adjust Yeah, we can see it all by the...

Hard words have been spoken And my heart it lays wide open And all you can say is that "it's not my fault" You watch me while I'm packin' Goodbyes like these just happen But my life, it's come crashin' to halt Wonder where I'll go Girl if you really mu...

The sun still hangin' in the sky And the world is wide awake outside And I know there's things we need to do But I just wanna draw the blinds and... Say goodnight Oh won't you let me pull you into me Go wherever all these kisses lead Turn down the bed Turn ou...

You've got a heart that's broken and a will that's given up A cynical mind and a soul that's worn and rough You're a fighter, no one can get the best of you Don't let 'em stay to close that's why you play every man for a fool I don't care you can live your li...

'Cross my arm is that old ink stain God, I wish I could erase that name Reminds me that I'm the one to blame I used to think that rules were made for breaking Now I question every road I've taken And I regret every heart I've forsaken Here's my confession The...

Everyday someone asks me what's my story and what do I like to do And everyday, for the most part, I only go so far; I almost never tell the truth 'Cause the truth is behind me there's not much, to give up, I like simple, not complicated ('Cause) I'm a small...

I've got the streets memorized I see the faces embedded in my mind I can't keep on fighting the urge go I've got nothing in common with this town I've come to know (So) I am so close now to walking away About to walk a path I've gotta take I am packing up hea...

I sit here in my bed, with you in my head, haunting my mind I think of all we had, all the good and bad and all of the times We'd sit down and talk, sometimes till three or four o'clock in the morning I live in misery, haunted by your memory, and the love tha...

I’ve been living in this town, for quite sometime It’s been eighteen years since I crossed that county line I sold almost everything that was mine Now I’m leaving town, with nothing but that bottom line A hundred dollars and a half of a tank of gas The s...

I'm a runner that's what I do Don't be surprised when I run from you When you turn around I'll be gone. I won't leave cause of something you said Nobody will know which way that I went Beat ya to the door before you get the chance It ain't the falling in love...

So, this was not how you planned it. No, oh you don't understand it. Why, is it so misleading? when all you really wanted became so defeating. time, well it only got harder thought you had one but it was another. Then, you believed in a breakthrough but it too...

Throw the laundry in the backseat Accelerate with your bare feet Take this corner carefully It's hard to corner when you can't see That we're kicking up a cloud of dust On a bird's eye view of us I'll be damned if we're gonna rust In a town I've never thought...

An old guitar he learned to play He'd never make something of it all his friend's would say But he played anyway Growing up he was countin' down The day he left his hometown He was moving to music city He was so uncertain if he was making a right choic...

Between heaven and hell, the devil in me, Burned another bridge on the family tree, You take the bottle from my hand and the whiskey off my breath, Tell me is there really still anything left, There's a limit to livin' on God's green earth, I'm still tryin' to...

I may never fly you to Heaven with a kiss on your lips And I may never break your heart or to get to make up for it I may never see the stars in your eyes from a lover's point of view Or get lost in the days gone by 'cause I'm so wrapped up in you... If y...

Give me skies of black and blue, the way you make me feel. Give me skies of green and red, cold winds will make it real. Storms are brewing deep within of hurt and loss of pride. It's good to see the world in pain when I take a walk outside. When it rain...

It's good there was a full moon out that night I can still recall your body in the pale white light When love's not love it sure felt right Who would have known you were the crazy type. We were teaching each other how to love After all it couldn't be that tou...

When you come down my way here I hope you stay Maybe for a while, not just a day, yeah When you come down my way..... I haven't seen you in so long, there's a lot to get caught up on Pull up a chair, pour a drink that's strong I haven't seen you in so long......
