American Boys

Stella, I’ve never been with a foreign girl.
I don’t know what you’ve felt, what you’ve learned.
But we American boys have a few talents of our own;
darling, I’ll show you when we get back home.
I can show you what American boys are good for:
a laugh, a dinner, a show, and a moan.
We American boys have a few tricks up our sleeves,
and I can show you, darling; it’d be so easy.

Stella, I know you won’t regret one night with me.
In fact, you’ll probably beg for more.
I plan to leave you begging for more of that American boy.

Yeah, let me whisper sweet nothings in your ear.
You’ll laugh at my accent, but it’ll make you warm.
We American boys know how to use our words;
like keys, turning, turning you on.
These hands of mine are bruised and broken from years of work;
but they can be gentle when the job demands.
American boys know how to use their bodies;
and, darling, I know how to use yours!

CHORUS

about

Elijah Cash Pleasanton, Texas

Eli mainly plays the blues. Not because it is his chosen or favorite method; rather, it's what life gave him—it was in the tool bag he was born with, if you will. Eli’s music is for lost boys and for women who want to be found. He’s pioneering the market of city slickers who feel something’s missing—because it is.

Eli is a contributing artist to the Crowdsource Inspiration project.
