Where’d You Go? - Live From The Middle East

Hello? Checked the clock when i got home And realized i was alone Sat for hours by the window Wonderin’ where did you go? Couldn’t eat or sleep at all Took the pictures off the wall Paced the place as time moves slow And i’m wondering where did you go? Where’d you go? where’d you […]

The Impression That I Get - Live From The Middle East

Someday I Suppose - Live From The Middle East

(nate albert/dicky barrett/joe gittleman/bosstones) There was a place And the name of the place escapes me When i can’t rememeber It irritates me Could be i can’t remember Could be i choose to not, Let’s move the song along And try to find the plot There was a girl and i don’t know her name […]

Royal Oil - Live From The Middle East

Let’s Face It - Live From The Middle East

It’s so hard to face That in this day and age Somebody’s race Could trigger somebody’s rage And somebody’s preference Can drive some total stranger To make somebody, somehow Feel the wrath of their anger Why were we put here?

Kinder Words - Live From The Middle East

I’ll Drink To That - Live From The Middle East

(dicky barrett/joe gittleman) Standing stiff on a cliff and i’m not gonna leap, Checked out the water but it’s much too deep No going back there’s no turning around, So i’ll stay here and wait god i hope that i’m found My [7x] thoughts were in knots but i couldn’t get to sleep, Went up […]
