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.

GCadd9 He never knew their names and never really cared EmD Lying to himself, he was never just a young kid scared GCadd9 Living on his own with no one to hold on to EmD Nowhere to go and nothing to do Cadd9 But lie awake and pray that one day Cadd9 Someone will come his way
CHORUS G All he knows are D Highways and broken hearts EmCadd9 Late nights and old guitars GD Wondering where you are EmDCadd9 You're so far away
His shoes are worn and tired and not at their best Like a gypsy never sure where he'll be going next Superficial friends, and girls with glazed over eyes It's a good time, but just for the night Then off he'll go to maybe Mexico Then off to Colorado
CHORUS
Staring through the walls of that motel room Reflecting on his days, the route that he's seemed to choose Will good outshine the bad, can he turn this thing around Should he drop to his knees, just give up now Begging for release in the night Has he gone too far to fight?
CHORUS
EmDCadd9 You're so far away EmDCadd9 You're so far away
