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.

Bridge
D Em C G D C G
:Verse 1:
G D Em C G D C
Everyday someone asks me what’s my story and what do I like to do
G D Em C G D C
And everyday, for the most part, I only go so far; I almost never tell the truth
G D Em C G D C
‘Cause the truth is behind me there’s not much, to give up, I like simple, not complicated
:Chorus:
C G D Em C
(‘Cause) I’m a small town kid, driven by rock music And some honky-tonk, in the mix
G D Em C
I like whiskey in coke, a double to the top, a shot of cuervo now and then
G D Em C G
I never ask for a lot, I’ll never need much, just a good-looking lady who can drive my truck
G D C D G
I’m not afraid to admit, I’m that small town kid
Bridge
D Em C G D C G
City lights, yellow cabs, Yankee hats, Suits and ties everywhere
These City folks, they look at me in my shirt and jeans, they make me think I don’t fit in here
Well the things they say might be right, they might be so but one thing I know: I
can’t change who I am
Chorus
Bridge:
D C
Mama don’t you worry
D C
They won't change me
D C
A hundred thousand miles
D
Mean nothing to me
Chorus
