East of Midnight
EAST OF MIDNIGHT
A south side brick bungalow
In a lifetime long ago
When I was just a lad of seventeen
I was searchin for connection
To the big machine
Feelin' lost everyone
Thinkin' I was the only one
Like a tiny spoke in a wheel
just spinnin' round
I was lookin' for direction
When I heard that sound
And I came alive
Cause it was all I ever needed
I came alive
When the rock began to roll
And I was revived
And now when I feel defeated
I hear the best of times and the music
Frees my soul
Chorus
Just east of midnight
I could hear the late night radio
And like a lifeline
I could fi nd my way
Just east of midnight
I could hear a world in stereo
And like a searchlight
I was saved that day
So I got me a vehicle
A second hand miracle
Just a set of wheels with a dashboard
radio
I was crusin' down the airwaves
In the afterglow
So I turned it up
Cause it was all I ever needed
I turned it up
When the rock began to roll
Now I'm all grown up
And now when I feel defeated
I remember all the times
When the music made me whole
Repeat chorus
