Bottom Line - Eli Young Band
G Em
I've been living in this town for quite some time
C G
It's been eighteen years since I crossed the county line
G Em
And I sold almost everything that was mine
C G
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 a beat up Rangers cap
100 miles to go, who would believe that
I would go this far, without turning back
CHORUS
Em C G D
So here I go, packing light to head down that road
Em C G D
And I know, this life I'll lead, will beat on my soul
C D
But I'll still have my pride
F G
And nothing but that bottom line
The bands been on the road now, for quite some time
Hitting all the cities, neon sign to neon sign
Drowining in straight bourbon whiskey, beer and too much wine
Playing our songs for nothing but that bottom line
But on the stage each night, we're captured by the sound
Singing the 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
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 the music that we like
Almost for free, for nothing but that bottom line
CHORUS
