From the recording Drive
Written while on the NJ TPK, remembering the Jersey Girls I use to know, and of course, driving alot.
Lyrics
I once knew a girl, a north Jersey girl
Who taught me the meaning of Sunday drivin'
I wanted her love, she just wanted to talk
She spit out her words like she was barely survivin'
She was supposed to marry a boy waiting at home
When she told me this she started to cry
We'd just stare straight ahead, and drive drive drive drive drive
We'd just stare straight ahead, and drive drive drive drive drive
The next Jersey girl and I made a deal
In the hopes that we'd both get what we needed
I was to give her my love ,she was to give me what she could
But come to think of it, we never succeeded
She came to visit with a woman lover friend
In whose arms she said she felt alive
I'd just stare straight ahead and drive drive drive drive drive
I'd just stare straight ahead and drive drive drive drive drive
Today I was drivin down the New Jersey Turnpike
When in a flash I was struck by a powerful vision
The two of them came searing into my mind
With a heat that was something like nuclear fision
If it wasn't flash fire I'd have never survived
'Cause ghosts from the past can burn you alive
I just stare straight ahead and drive drive drive drive drive
I just stare straight ahead and drive drive drive drive drive
