A storm is blowing in from the south And lightenings up ahead Maybe it could strike me down Knock some sense into my head My Grandpa he was struck once In the middle of a field I don’t know if I’ve been hit But this is how it feels Do you know where you’re goin’ Do you know where you’ve been Do you know where you’re goin’ The smell of soon to rain is here And it’s blowin’ through my mind And that Tom Waits song you played for me On the radio one more time He keeps singn’ bout the cold cold ground And I don’t know what it means I’m gonna pull my car to the side of the road And drop down on my knees Do you know where you’re goin’ Do you know where you’ve been Do you know where you’re goin’ And the compass that you gave to me Is swingn’ from my rearview mirror And the sun is playin’ tricks on me And I’m thinking you are here I believe it Do you know where you’re goin’ Do you know where you’ve been Do you know where you’re goin’ Do you know where you’ve been

Bare feet on hot bricks Small towns take me back to this I walked coals of fire I didn’t feel a thing Down your alley to Lanedon Lane The train crosses Quincy Street That’s the corner we’d always meet Mama didn’t like the looks of you I told her you were shy It wasn’t the truth Not the truth Playin’ with fire Is a little bit dangerous Matches in an open field Are a little bit dangerous In the summer afternoons Walk to the blue chlorine pool Lifeguard knew me since the second grade He said girl you haven’t changed Kissin in the vacant lot All we had was youth and trust We were runnin’ till the sun went down Yea we really thought we owned this town This town Playin’ with fire yea Is a little bit dangerous Matches in an open field Are a little bit dangerous Playin’ with fire Is a little bit dangerous Matches in an open field Are a little bit dangerous Are a little bit dangerous Are a little bit dangerous The train crosses Quincy Street That’s the corner we’d always meet The train crosses Quincy st. That’s the corner we’d always meet

The sky is blue The day is cool The ground could swallow us up Yeah life can be cruel You sit down slowly You feel the cold Sit on the sand You reach for my hand Take a breath and walk away Life doesn’t have an easy way I kiss your lips You close your eyes Yeah I’m already gone I’m gonna start my car I’m gonna drive for a day If the rain comes down Not gonna worry not today I’ll catch a train And ride a thousand miles I’ll wake up tomorrow But I won’t have your smile Take a breath and walk away Life doesn’t have an easy way I kiss your lips You close your eyes Yeah I’m already gone I’m already gone Took a trip to the sea What can the healing waters do Easy to start all over Well that just ain’t true You can’t go back to yesterday Cause everything changes Yeah it’s never quite the same Take a breath and walk away Yeah life doesn’t have an easy way I kiss your lips you close your eyes Yeah I’m already gone Take a breath and dream away Yeah life can get a little crazy that way I kiss your lips You close your eyes Yeah I’m already gone Yeah I’m already gone I’m already gone.

Drivin’ on I-35 and I was free Sun so hot you could hardly breathe Corn tall you couldn’t see Fireflies when the sun goes down Nothin’ to do not even in town I’m stayin’ up late and sleepin’ in and I’m thinkin’ of you This Place is Summer And I’m dreamin’ you back to me This Place is Summer And I hope you wanna be with me Yeah Walkin’ around my little town There’s nothin’ left I’m walkin’ down a country road Dust heat and sweat Coffee in the percolator My little sister’s runnin’ around There’s not much to do here And my brother’s hangin’ out This place is summer And I’m dreamin’ you back to me This place is summer And I hope you wanna be with me This place is summer And I’m dreamin’ you back to me Daddy tellin’ a funny joke Patsy ridin’ her horse Grandma Mary bakin’ bread Teachin’ me bout life On my bike down to the farm I’m skippin’ rocks at the pond Sound can travel a mile away I’m thinkin’ of you This place is summer And I’m dreamin’ you back to me This place is summer And I hope you wanna be with me This place is summer And I’m dreamin’ you back to me This place is summer And I hope you wanna be with me Hope you wanna be with me Hope you wanna be with me

I’m on my hands I’m on my knees I’ve got my head Up in the trees A million stars Shinin’ on I had some things But now they’re long gone This train car rockin’ Like it come apart When you come knockin’ Knockin’ at my heart Your face comes floatin’ Pretty as you please And train car love Rollin’ over me And my heart My heart My heart My heart Where’s this goin’ It’s going where it goes And where’s my love No one really knows This train car’s just Draggin’ me around And train car love Never made a soud She hit my heart My heart My heart My heart My heart My heart My heart My heart

about

During February and March of 2020, Lisa recorded Quincy St. at Honor Roll Studios in Dalton, Massachusetts with producer Johnny Irion.

Musician and music critic Sam Otis Hill says of Lisa’s new album:

“Quincy Street isn’t just genre defying its decade defying. On the whole, Quincy Street is defined by a brightness and levity that at times defies the depth of the lyrics and meaning of the songs. The fresh linen and well-worn denim of this fabric is occasionally splashed with whiskey, beer, and hot sauce…”
