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.

[Intro]
G Em B D x2
[Verse]
G
So, this was not how you planned it.
Em
No, oh you don't understand it.
Am
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.
Am
Then, you believed in a breakthrough
D D
But it took you by surprise when you came out a fool.
[Chorus]

You gotta fail a thousand times

Before you see it through.
G Em
You gotta spend your last dime
B D
Before you ever make a million.
C D
You gotta know what brought you here
C D
And you gotta lose to persevere.
G Em
But it's the way the sun will rise

Strength, it's an honor you earn

when you look back and see all the lessons you've learned
