Bottom Line Tab

by Eli Young Band


Verse 1:
                         
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

Chorus:
                                           
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

Verse 2:
The bands 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, were 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

Chorus

Verse 3:
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

Chorus (x2)
