Alone In New Jersey

It's nice and quiet over suburbs of North Jersey
Every night my friends and me would skate through Nichols Park
Never hurt no one just sat around and laughed about the times that past
Same old story in any town the times they go so fast

The title to the world just can't replace the smile on my face
When I know that I'm coming back home to this place
People in this town seem so much meaner
It used to be much cleaner
Make sure you know that the grass is always greener

Weekdays always came and went I felt so robbed
Never seems to stop full-time classes and two jobs
On Friday night we'd hop the path to New York City
We'd end up getting shitty most of which is still a blur to me

The title to the world just can't replace the smile on my face
When I know that I'm coming back home to this place
The people in this town seem so much meaner
It used to be much cleaner
Make sure you know that the grass is always greener

I'm gonna sit here till the sun comes up
I'm gonna think about how I'm down on my luck
I'm cold and there's nothing to do time ain't a threat
All alone in New Jersey on my last cigarette
I'm thinking about you sun's comin' up again
And I never wanted this plain old day to end

My TV can't get the channels
I go to Juan's to watch Sopranos
Twist one up and everything's alright
Looks like I'm leaving here again and all the fun will end
Seems like I'm just a normal guy living a not so normal life

The title to the world just can't replace the smile on my face
When I know I'm coming back home to this place
The people in this town seem so much meaner
It used to be much cleaner
Make sure you know that the grass is always greener

I'm gonna sit here till the sun comes up
I'm gonna thing about how I'm down on my luck
I'm cold and I don't want to go home time ain't a threat
All alone in New Jersey on my last cigarette
I'm thinking about you sun's comin' up again
And I never wanted this plain old day to end
