lirik lagu eli’s – guy smith
he’s a rodeo remnant * a has been cowboy – a left over eight second star
he busted brocs * in the western circuit – ‘till one busted him hard
now he’s pitchin’ hay * cleaning stalls * anything just to make some dough
drinking away the pain * followin’ the only road that he knows
she once loved a cowboy * who drove in the night * chasin’ a restless man’s dream
her heart never healed * over twenty some years * and never will, so it seems
she still tending bar * down at eli’s – but she spends most of her time home alone
though once in a while * she’s been known to take another cowboy home
now the rodeo’s back in town, that dark feelin’s have come around
she knows it be a long shift down at eli’s tonight
it’s quite now * out by the trailers * as he pulls his good boots on
all the young studs * the half*crippled bull riders * well, they’ve already gone
it takes him longer * his stiff joints fighting * he pulls a sleeve down over some scars
dressin’ up just enough * to knock a few down at the nearest bar
well at that bar …
the juke box is blasting * the girls are dancing * stompin’ their boots on the ground
the circuit riders are buyin’ * beers for the ladies * and she pourin’ everyone another round
and she cusses like the devil * when some drunk cowpoke – spills his pitcher on the floor
after all these years * she doesn’t want to work at eli’s anymore
he swears to himself * not too much whiskey this time * as he walks in the door
but he knows it will likely be a late one at eli’s tonight
he’s lookin’ at the floor – while he fumbles for some cash * she asks “whats you drinkin, hombre”
when he looks up their eyes lock * and the whole d*mn bar just fades away
in the noisy silence * two worn down victims – stare at each other in this waterin’ hole
they’re both surprised to find they still have a shred of their long lost souls
she pours him three fingers * asks about his buckle – a trophy from his glory days
he tells her his stories * about his travel’ life * and his vagabond ways
how he wishes it were different – he’d just like to slow down * she touches his hand and smiles
“this one’s on me” she says * praying that he’ll stay for awhile
the rodeo’s back in town * but her dark feelin’ can’t be found
and she won’t be goin’ home * alone * from eli’s tonight
they won’t be goin’ home …. alone … from eli’s tonight
