Drunk Last Night (Commentary)

The Eli Young Band has released some great songs in their over 15-year career
And they've decided to put some of the best, some of the fan favorites
All on one album just for you
It's called, "This is Eli Young Band: Greatest Hits"

And one of the songs on there
Is a song that I loved
It was co-written by Big Machine music writer, Laura Veltz
And I feel like it just has this driving beat to it
It was a number one song, I'm talking about "Drunk Last Night"
And the guys loved this song because on the surface
It sounded like a drinking, partying song
But when you listen to the lyrics
It was much more than that

I think "Drunk Last Night" was one of the songs that, uh
We needed this drunk, fun song but we've just never been those guys
To have the beer-drink-and-raise-your-glasses kinda guys
We- I think wanted more out of our music
But "Drunk Last Night", it had such a different idea to it
Than just this drunk, fun tune that says nothing

We fell in love with the whole idea of
You look at the title and you think it's gonna be this
But then you hear the song and it's actually that
And that's, I think, one of the reasons that we felt like it did so well
And why we loved it so much

"Drunk Last Night" was originally on "10,000 Towns"
It was a number song for Eli Young Band
But now, you can find it on "This is Eli Young Band: Greatest Hits"
Which is available now and here it is on Big Machine Radio
