Red House Painters - New Jersey lyrics

You're an American girl Red headed eyes blank Living in a freckle on the face of the world Another dying kid that learned too much too soon You're not as good as your mom But you're as good as dead You're as good as dead New Jersey ain't the whole world Which of your shots have sold? Twenty-nine with your child Who doesn't give and eats what's left Of your young soul Another dying spark that burned too fast too soon You're not as bad as your dad But you're as good as dead You're as good as dead New Jersey ain't the whole world Don't you leave me out here too long Will you bring me out there? You're an American girl Out of line in out of time A cry for the leading role Your bum childhood stole A mother tires and stuck In her love-worn bed You're not as good as your mom But you're as good as dead You're as good as dead New Jersey ain't the whole world Don't you leave me out here too long Will you bring me out there?
