    Story Behind the Song
    Track number five. Not by coincidence but by choice. Originally titled “I Call Home”, I changed it to “Eleven” after reflecting back and realizing that my father died in room number 511. At eleven o’clock the night he died, I received a message from my mother telling me that he had moved on. These lyrics are all true.

    Lyrics
    Eleven

    Papa worked himself into an early grave
    it wasn’t him, his body just gave
    now he’s gone and everything’s changed

    chorus
    But I wish I could live
    back in the days when I was a kid
    and I wish I could go
    back to the place, I call home

    Momma was poor, so she sold everything
    packed what was left, them moved away
    now she’s gone and my life’s changed

    chorus

    My brothers and sisters, live far away
    no one ever calls, and I find it all a shame
    I don’t know them, and they don’t know me

    chorus

    Me...I live my life, with my six string
    you know I ain’t rich, but at least I’m happy
    I take the pain, and I play it all away

    chorus
