Eli Young Band - Even If It Breaks Your Heart Lyrics






Way back on the radio dial,
The fire got lit inside a bright-eyed child.
Every note just wrapped around his soul,
From steel guitars to Memphis, all the way to rock and roll.

Ohhh, I can hear 'em playin'.
I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar.
Ohhh, I can hear 'em singin',
"Keep on dreamin', even if it breaks your heart."

Downtown is where I used to wander.
Old enough to get there but too young to get inside.
So I would stand out on the sidewalk,
Listen to the music playin' every Friday night.

Ohhh, I can hear 'em playin'.
I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar.
Ohhh, I can hear 'em singin',
"Keep on dreamin', even if it breaks your heart."

Some dreams stay with you forever,
Drag you around but bring you back to where you were.
Some dreams keep on gettin' better,
Gotta keep believin' if you wanna know for sure.

Ohhh, I can hear 'em playin'.
I can hear the ringin' of a beat up ol' guitar.
Ohhh, I can hear 'em singin',
"Keep on dreamin', even if it breaks your heart."
[x2]

Keep on dreamin', even if it breaks your heart.

Keep on dreamin'

Don't let it break your heart.

Eli Young Band Even If It Breaks Your Heart Comments
  1. A.... S....

    Just found this after finding their motley crue version of girl dont go away mad. (Im metal/rock fan) Digging this one too. 2 for 2 so far. Onto another song from them.... lets see if can be 3 for 3.

  2. L.... L....

    I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  3. 8.... A....

    Go try to figure out righteousness..

  4. N.... B....

    First in 2020.

  5. G.... S....

    When this song came out, I was going through a bad patch with a friend who had become toxic and abusive towards me. Every time she’d get pissed at me or tried to put me down for wanting better for myself, I always heard this playing.

  6. b.... m....

    s/o to will hoge, magic happens when his pen touches paper.

  7. T.... J....

    This makes me think of the show Nashville

  8. G.... S....

    Eu sou o Brasileiro que mais ama essa música....sentenas de vezes já escultei ela ❣❣❣❣🎶

  9. S.... R....

    I always play it back in 2010, my merchant academy years. . It was full of hardships, but I kept dreaming .. now im a merchant officer navigating around the globe.. I still listen to this band... power country... love from Benito Soliven. Isabela...

  10. R.... V....

    I really love this song.

  11. D.... M....

    Anyone else think that if they ever won the lottery, they'd just hang around pawn shops and give out cash to people selling their musical instruments just so they'd keep them a little longer?
    Me neither...
    😏
    ✌🍻✌

  12. A.... L....

    #iwanttobespoiled

  13. D.... A....

    Too good

  14. M.... ....

    Just saw these guys in concert covering for Chris Young, great job guys keep it up!

  15. I.... P....

    It's been a long while since I've heard this song, and it all of a sudden, the tune came into my head yesterday. Still one of the best country songs- if not the best country song, in the decade.

  16. C.... I....

    heres the lyrics for who ever wants them\

    oh oh oh, don't let it break your heart

  17. Z.... ....

    Hart of Dixie anyone?

  18. K.... W....

    Legit just took an hour to find this song

  19. d.... g....

    This song is my number one in the world because me and my girlfriend will be getting married?

  20. J.... G....

    Good song ...

  21. r.... ....

    this band is channeling its inner Don Williams

  22. J.... R....

    Took me a year to find this song :(

  23. M.... G....

    I love Lee Brice, he’s so talented!!!

  24. T.... S....

    Steve Young.. Great actor!

  25. �.... ....

    2012 was a really good year

  26. �.... ....

    진짜 컨트리

  27. 2.... ....

    All the dislikers are Tone Deaf

  28. o.... ....

    My younger daughter was very young when this came out. She would sit in the back and sing along in her "Little girl" voice- these days she is a bit older. But plays drums like an absolute fiend and has a great singing voice; it's not the focus of her schooling, but we are moving to NC and we chose the neighborhood in large part because the high school in that area is academically strong and has a great performing arts/music program. Every time I hear this song, I am reminded how prophetic this song was- if I ever meet Eli Young I'd shake his hand

  29. T.... S....

    Just heard this for the first time in 2 years on the radio. Never gets old. Thanks Chicago 99.5!

  30. A.... W....

    2019. And if this song ain't the truth!!

  31. F.... G....

    I feel 12 again

  32. T.... B....

    You could also swap the word dreaming in this song to "keep on loving even if it breaks your heart" and it would still make perfect sense!!!

  33. T.... A....

    This a country tune that plays true to rock n roll in its soul

  34. d.... ....

    I listened to this while studying for my EMT license exam. The song hit harder after I failed the exam the first time. It was the first song I played after I passed it and knew I was gonna fulfill a dream.

    d.... ....

    Thats exactly me right now lol

  35. C.... S....

    i love country music.

  36. K.... H....

    Awesome tune!

  37. M.... M....

    I don’t really know why but this song has hit me in such a emotional way. The first time I heard it I was on vacation in Nashville and was driving to my aunts house there after a particularly rough day of body insecurity. As I listened to this song I began to believe anything was possible and nothing is above my reach since then I’ve lost 30 pounds

  38. B.... B....

    2019 anyone?

  39. j.... J....

    My advert song ever its $@#💙💌

  40. C.... H....

    Soooo someone took your guitar intro and used it cord for cord. I cant hear that start without thinking of this song. Also, pretty sure its copy infringement 😂 https://youtu.be/OAcZ01d8ZVY

  41. E.... R....

    That bright eyed child is me. Not literally but you guys get my point

  42. 5.... s....

  43. S.... L....

    One of the best country songs in the WORLD!

  44. P.... o....

    Love this song and the rest by Eli Young band

  45. e.... n....

    I’ve been looking for song for years I literally searched country song music video in a guitar store to find this not easy to find since it’s a common music video lll

  46. T.... G....

    About 2006...at frontier city,an amusement park,in Oklahoma City,a little known band back then named Eli Young Band.Hot summer evening,not a lot of people showed up,a summer shower,didn’t know if the rides would resume,These guys fkn killed it! I knew from then on to keep an eye out for them! And, I wasn’t wrong either! 😉 hella great group! Go see them! You’ll be pleasantly impressed!!!! I’m 55 now,and really back then not much would impress me,but, I have to admit these guys did.Thank You again Eli Young band,some great memories!👍

  68. N.... B....

    The sounds of the summer of 2012
    Even if it breaks your heart
    Drunk on you
    I don't want this night to end
    Country must be country wide
    Beer money
    And lots more
    Brother had just graduated high schooland I just finished up 8th grade. He was driving a 2005 Ford Five hundred with a 12'' subwoofer in the trunk. Gibson County fair. Wasn't good looking enough then for a girlfriend lol but it was probably the best summer I had ever had
