about

Written by Tracie Potochnik.

lyrics

I don't miss the east side, not one little bit
I'm on the other side of town now, I escaped that tiresome shit
Rich white housewives in the park with cappuccino breath
Their kids are so well mannered until they trample you to death
I don't miss the east side, glad I got that off my chest

And I don't miss that hound dog barking in my neighbor's yard
Always howling out the window when the moon rose high and far
They never paid him any mind or took him for a walk
His lonesome cries could terrorize three surrounding blocks
I don't miss that hound dog he was dumb as a cardboard box

And I don't miss that black cat who came scratching at my door
Or that one old stubborn nail was always poking out the floor
And I don't miss the front porch swing where we would sit and sway
And watch the clear cool evening swallow one more sunny day

I don't miss seeing your face everywhere I went
Always showing off that new girl like you were president
It's just like I told you in those letters that I sent
My heart is mostly mended, maybe just a little bent
I don't miss seeing your big blue eyes everywhere I went

I don't miss the east side, not one little bit
I'm on the other side of town now, I escaped that tiresome shit
It was like a t-shirt that never seemed to fit
Or maybe that was me who started growing out of it
I don't miss the east side, not one little bit

The two have since formed a duo featuring sweet and soulful harmony, thoughtful musicianship, and delicately crafted lyrical storytelling. ... more
