about

If you've never been, visit the place. You'll see what I mean.

lyrics

NORTH JERSEY

North Jersey: There's no other place I'd rather not be any day.
Tell me why half the human race exists in such a tiny space.
Directions only get you lost. Street signs were just an after-thought.
There's got to be a better way to get from point B to point A.
Stuck underneath a railroad tressle.
My truck was way too high. I never saw the sign.
Sitting there waiting for a wrecker.
Traffic's backed up for miles. We'll be here for a while.
Turn around right now.
A simple, little trip always takes twice as long. 'Like
trying to navigate your way through a hairball.
North Jersey, there's just no excuse for all the crap you put me through.
'Told me my truck is over-weight, 'kicked me right off of the parkway.
I doubt there's any other state that goes so far to make you late.
***
Turn around right now.
From in the passing-lane, somebody flipped me off.
It's only saving grace is New York's not too far.
North Jersey, hey, what do you do with all the fines for revenue?
Let's try and beautify the place by investing in open-space.
I'll try to stay real far away from the north-eastern garden state.
Turn around right now.
Turn around right now.
