Every day someone asks me what's my story
and what do I like to do
And every day 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
I'm that small town kid driven by rock
music and some honky tonk in the mix
I like a whiskey and coke,
a double to the top,
shot a quervo down there
I never ask for a lot,
I'll never need much A good looking lady who can drive my truck
Not afraid to admit I'm that small town kid
And every day,
oh,
thank god for editing, right?
City lights,
yellow caps,
Yankee hats,
suits and ties,
everywhere
These city folks,
they look at me My shirt and jeans,
they make me think I don't fit in here
Well the things they say,
they might be right,
they might be so But one thing I know,
I can't change who I am
Cause I'm a small town kid driven by
rock music and some honky tonk in the mix
I like a whiskey and coke,
a double to the top,
shot a quervo down there
I never ask for a lot,
I'll never need much A good looking lady who can drive my truck
Not afraid to admit I'm that small town kid
Mama, don't you worry,
they won't change me
I've been driving for a thousand miles,
they mean nothing to me
Cause I'm a small town kid driven by
rock music and some honky tonk in the mix
I like a whiskey and coke,
a double to the top,
shot a quervo down there
I never ask for a lot,
I'll never need much A good looking lady who can drive my truck
Not afraid to admit I'm that small town kid
That small town kid
Huntsville, Texas,
John Ray Fox, how y'all feeling?
I want y'all to say hello to a couple friends of ours over here
The man on the organ
A good friend of ours that decided to party with us tonight
Y'all give a big hello to Mr. Alan Huff
And the man right in front of him playing
the acoustic guitar and singing some
vocals with me
I'll say hello to one of our other really good friends
Y'all say hello to the lover,
Mr. Blue Sanders
The man to my left
The man with all the groove
Say hello
to Mr. John Jones
And the man to my right on lead guitars,
the man breaking the windows,
one of the best
One of the best songwriters I know
Say hello on lead guitars, Mr. James Young
Back in the back on the drums,
the man with all the beat
Give a big hello to Mr. Chris Thompson
Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Mike Elon
And together we are the Eli Young Band
I'm a small town kid driven by rock
music and some honky tonk in the mix
Like a whiskey and coke double to the top,
shout a quibble now and then
Never asked for a lot,
I don't ever need much,
good looking lady who can drop my stuff
Not afraid to admit I'm that small town kid
That small town kid
Huntsville, Texas, let me hear you!
One more time,
Eli Young, give it up!
