East of Midnight - Dennis De Young

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

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

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

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

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
