Young Kid - IVOXYGEN

When the guys in Eli Young Band were thinking about songs To put on their new greatest hits album Do you know that they actally had an album they released Before they were signed to the Big Machine label group? And they decided to go back to that album And pick a couple of songs from there to put on the greatest hits Now the first one that we're gonna play it's called "Small Town Kid" For anybody who grew up in a small town This was Mike Eli's tribute to his small town upbringing And more importantly this song taught Mike something about himself as an artist Who I was in high school where I grew up like it felt very small town Everybody knew what was happening in everybody's lifes And everything was changing and a lot of people were moving there They built this highway and so the access to our town was just changing dramatically And that was kind of like where I was going with writing that song And then it ended up kinda of I think being this ode To being proud of where you came from But I think that-that song for me Was my first outing of figuring out "Hey, I can write a song, that's cool" Like I said, this song was off of Eli Young Band's very first album back in 2005 It was called "Level" This is "Small Town Kid" and you'll find it on "This is Eli Young Band: Greatest Hits" which is available now
