New Jersey - Red House Painters

You’re an American girl

Redheaded, 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 too?

Don’t you leave me out here too long

Will you bring me out there too?

You’re an American girl

Out of line and out of time

A cry for the leading role, your bum childhood stole

A mother tired 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 too?

Don’t you leave me out here too long

Will you bring me out there too?
