Bottom Line - Eli Young Band

I’ve been living in this town, for quite sometime

It’s been eighteen years since I crossed that county line

I sold almost everything that was mine

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

So here I go, packing light to head down that road

And I know, this life I’ll lead will beat on my soul

But I’ll still have my pride

Nothing but that bottom line

The band’s 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, we’re 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

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
