Eastside

[Verse 1]

When I was young, I fell in love

We used to hold hands, man, that was enough (Yeah)

Then we grew up, stayed in touch

Used to talk underneath the light on the back of the bus

I know your daddy didn't like me much

And he didn't believe me when I said you were the one

Oh, every day, she found a way to stay on the phone and talk real late

[Pre-Chorus]

She used to meet me on the Eastside

In the city where the sun don't set

And every day, you know that we ride

Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette

Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight

We can go anywhere we want

Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat

Just take my hand and come with me, yeah

[Chorus]

We can do anything if we put our minds to it

Take your whole life, then you put a line through it

My love is yours if you're willing to take it

Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it

So come away, starting today

Start a new life together in a different place

We know that love is how all these ideas came to be

So baby, run away with me

[Verse 2]

17, and you have a dream to have a family

A house, and everything in between

And then, uh, suddenly, you turned 23

Now we got pressure for taking our life more seriously

We got our dead-end jobs and got bills to pay

Our old friends are now our enemies

And now I, I'm thinking back to when I was young

Back to the day when I was falling in love

[Pre-Chorus]

He used to meet me on the Eastside

In the city where the sun don't set

And every day, you know that we ride

Through the backstreets in a blue Corvette

Baby, you know I just wanna leave tonight

We can go anywhere we want

Drive down to the coast, jump in the seat

Just take my hand and come with me, singin'

[Chorus]

We can do anything if we put our minds to it

Take your whole life, then you put a line through it

My love is yours if you're willing to take it

Give me your heart 'cause I ain't gonna break it

So come away, starting today

Start a new life together in a different place

We know that love is how all these ideas came to be

So baby, run away with me

[Bridge]

Run away now, run away now, run away now

Run away now, run away now, run away now

[Outro]

He used to meet me on the Eastside

She used to meet me on the Eastside

He used to meet me on the Eastside

She used to meet me on the Eastside

In the city where the sun don't set
