That's right boys. Bring those statues back to Texas. There's not another band who represents the Lone Star State better. Yes, it was a surprise to most that 'Crazy Girl' took the ACM song of the year, but not a surprise to those of us who have seen these guys grow into a force to be reckoned with by hard work and caring about their listeners and the radio stations who play them. Congratulations to the Eli Young Band for the huge win at the ACM awards. This too is only the beginning for regional artists from Texas and Oklahoma who aspire to be where Eli Young Band is right now. It can happen, like Mike Eli said during his acceptance. Believe and it will happen to you too. Bring those trophy's home where they belong, and thank you Eli Young Band for making Texas history tonight. We are awfully proud of you.
