East of Midnight

[Verse 1]
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 like 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)
And it was all I'd ever needed
(And I was revived)
When the rock began to roll
(And I survived)
And now when I feel defeated
I hear The Best Of Times
And the music lifts my soul

[Chorus]
Just east of midnight
I can hеar the late night radio
And like a sеarchlight
It will point the way
Just east of midnight
I can hear the world in stereo
And like a lifeline
I will save the day

[Verse 2]
So I got me a vehicle
A second hand miracle
Just a set of wheels with a dashboard radio
I was cruisin' down the airwaves
In the afterglow

(So I turned it up)
'Cause it was all I'd 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 hope

[Chorus]
Just east of midnight
I can hear the late night radio
And like a searchlight
It will point the way
Just east of midnight
I can hear the world in stereo
And like a lifeline
I will save the day

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
Just east of midnight
I can hear the late night radio
And like a searchlight
It will point the way
Just east of midnight
I can hear the world in stereo
And like a lifeline
I will save the day

Just east of midnight
I can hear the late night radio
And like a searchlight
It will point the way
Just east of midnight
I can hear the world in stereo
And like a lifeline
I will save the day

[Outro]
Just east of midnight
