Biography:
With roots firmly planted in the fertile musical soil of Texas, the Eli Young Band is a little bit country and a helluva lot of guitar-driven rock and roll. Their Carnival Recording Company debut, Level, finds them poised to bust out of the Lone Star State and bring their brand of music to a wider audience as they make inroads into neighboring states and the wider Nashville country scene.
The band was formed almost five years ago by Mike Eli who grew up just outside of Houston and James Young who hails from Irving, TX.

Verse 1:
G Em
I've been living in this town, for quite sometime
C G
It's been eighteen years since I crossed that county line
G Em
I sold almost everything that was mine
C G
Now I'm leaving town, with nothing but that bottom line
A hundred dollars and a half of a tank of gas
The shirt that's on my back, and an beat up Rangers cap
200 miles to go, who would believe that,
I would go this far, without turning back
Chorus:
Em C G D
So Here I go, packing light to head down that road
Em C G D
And I know, this life I'll lead will beat on my soul
C D
But I'll still have my pride
F G C G
Nothing But That Bottom Line
Verse 2:
The bands been on the road now, for quite sometime
Hitting all the cities, neon sign to neon sign
Drowning in straight bourbon whiskey, beer and too much wine
Playing our songs for nothing but that bottom line
But on that stage each night, were captured by the sound
Singing these songs we write, to a different town
'Cause there are people who believe in what we've found
They like the song we sing and that's why we hang around
Chorus
Verse 3:
Thirty Years from now on that marquee sign
You'll see our name lit up misspelled, and live tonight
But we don't care, cause we play music that we like
Almost for free, for nothing but that bottom line
Chorus (x2)
