As anticipation grows for the Friday (7/10) release of his brand-new album, Sunday Drive, country music star Brett Eldredge is adding to the excitement by sharing the official music video for current single “Gabrielle”! The music video was filmed in and around the high school he attended growing up in Paris, IL.
“We started the day filming this video in the basketball gym that my grandfather, father, brother and myself all played in and ended the day in an open field watching one of the best Midwest sunsets I’d ever seen,” Eldredge shared. “The visual is so raw and honest that it feels like I’m still there in that gym. I can almost hear the lights buzz as they warm up before turning on completely and smell the old wood of the gym floor. I hope this song and the nostalgia we captured in the video inspires people to chase down opportunities your heart gives you, even if it might not work out in the end. You’ll be glad you never let fear hold you back.”

“Gabrielle” Lyrics
I was caught up in your brown eyes
Lookin’ up at the blue skies
Really made me realize
They don’t make ’em quite like you
Cinnamon skin in the sunshine
Stopped time in the moonlight
Really made me feel like
Like I could fall for you
Then one day you were just gone
And I’ve been wonderin’ for so long
Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
But, girl, wherever you are
I wish you well
Gabrielle
You were pickin’ flowers on a side road
Leanin’ back on a fence post
Couldn’t help but notice
You were wantin’ somethin’ more
I was starin’ off in the distance
Blinked twice and I missed it
Can we just rewind it
Like it was before?
And I woke up and you were gone
And I’ve been wonderin’ for so long
Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
But, girl, wherever you are
I wish you well
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh
And the miles, they fly by
Until you land back home again
And do you ever wonder
What we might have been?
I can still see ya standin’ there
Sun shinin’ behind your dress
Your silhouette
Mmm, so perfect
Take me back there
Take me back there
Oh, was it your heart or mine?
Was it just the wrong time, Gabrielle?
We never got very far
But, girl, wherever you are
I wish you well
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh, Gabrielle
Oh, was it just the wrong time?
Gabrielle, mm, mmm
