There’s a boy new to town 
Who I wouldn’t mind taking a drive with
Rough around the edges                                       
Like my daddy’s ‘97 Stepside, yeah                    

Probably slow to crank in the mornin’      
Til a high for his low gets him goin’                   
Puff of white smoke down a back road
Trailing him like a ghost

If he was a truck, I bet it’d be a little beat up
Covered in mud, odometer stuck
Radio playing songs I love
Like a sun-burnt leather bench seat
Worn at the seams
I’m thinkin’ that he 
Would feel familiar 
Wrapped around me 

Might be rust on the hood 
But the engine is good and tough
If he was a truck

He was talking to a friend
When our eyes met just for enough time
To look into the future
And I can’t help seeing him in mine

If there’s a windshield to his soul
I’ll throw a rock to make a hole 
Whatever I find, I don’t care
When I think about him, I swear

If he was a truck, I bet it’d be a little beat up
Covered in mud, odometer stuck
Radio playing songs I love
Like a sun-burnt leather bench seat
Worn at the seams
I’m thinkin’ that he 
Would feel familiar 
Wrapped around me 

Might be rust on the hood 
But the engine is good and tough
If he was a truck

Blue like his eyes, easy on mine
He makes me want to go for a ride

In his truck, he’s here now picking me up
Maybe it’s luck from the stars above 
His radio’s playing the songs I love
And that sun-burnt leather bench seat 
Worn at the seams
Ain’t the only good thing that feels familiar
Wrapped around me 

On a Saturday night making my adrenaline rush
That boy’s what I imagined he was
If he was a truck

If he was a truck

If He Was a Truck

Elby Faser isn’t your typical artist. She’s a musical maverick on the go with vocals that are not just powerful but dripping with soul and the kind of eloquence that can take your breath away.

Effortlessly painting a tapestry of pop, classic rock, soul, and blues into her own genre-blurring creation, Elby is a force to be reckoned with. Imagine a vibrant playlist where Brandi Carlile, Sheryl Crow, and John Mayer vibe together—this is Elby’s world, and she calls her sound “the rootsy cousin of alt-pop with a sprinkle of blues.” It’s fresh, it’s fun, and it’s completely her own.

For Elby, it’s not just about the music; it’s about the stories behind the music. Her songwriting dives deep into personal experiences and insightful observations about life, making each track feel like a voyage of the soul. When you listen to her songs, you’re not just hearing melodies; you’re embarking on a journey that captures universal truths and invites you to see your own life reflected in her words.

Every time Elby performs as a solo artist or with her full band, she creates magical moments where vulnerability meets empowerment, inviting you to experience every emotion in the room. With every note she sings and every lyric she writes, she leaves a little bit of her heart behind, making it impossible not to be drawn into her world. So, if you’re ready to experience a sonic adventure, Elby welcomes you along for the ride.
