lirik lagu guy smith – eli’s
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
