[Verse 1]
Mama didn't talk about nobody else
Daddy wouldn't say a thing, he kept it to himself
Home improvement bound by the power line
Spanish houses, driving to paradise

[Verse 2]
Everybody knows a song that nobody sings
Sitting in the dark I heard the phone would start to ring
Hugs and kisses out by the real estate
Hopes and wishes sung on the interstate

[Chorus 1]
Ooh, Eliza, I know, I know you are
Ooh, Eliza, come back, it's not that far
Ooh, Eliza, I know right where you are
Ooh, Eliza, come back, it's not that far

[Verse 3]
Woman, don't you cry now she's come along
Daddy, can you still believe Eliza's big and strong

[Chorus 2]
Ooh, Eliza, oh no, I know you are
Ooh, Eliza, come back, it's not that far
Ooh, Eliza, I know right where you are
Ooh, Eliza, come back, it's not that far
