So Jersey - Bouncing Souls

The sun shines brightly on a Jersey afternoon

He walked in his parents' footsteps on his way home from school

Those ties that were so sweet also burned under his feet

Now he’s ready to walk a path that is new

And he can’t turn back

He can’t turn back

He can’t turn back

Running through the crowds

He made it out alive

Betting everything on himself tonight

She’s driving down the shore on a Jersey afternoon

She’s driving down the same old road her parents took her through

Hypnotized by those broken lines, broken records lost in time

She’s turning down a road that is new

And she can’t turn back

No, she can’t turn back

She can’t turn back

Stepping through the darkness

Into the light

Betting everything on herself tonight

Stepping out of the Asbury Lanes in the midnight snow

The skeleton of this old town feels like it’s coming alive

Riots and corruption, beaches and Bruce

These songs were the keys to the engines of our growing up

And we wanna say thanks to the music in our lives

Forgive ourselves for all the lies

Send some love to all the lonely

Don’t forget we’re all one family

Thanks to the music in our lives

For helping us to survive

Lost in one lonely dream

Born to run and live free

The sun shines brightly on us this afternoon

Walking in our own footsteps, a search for something new

And we can’t turn back

No, we can’t turn back

We can’t turn back

Stepping through the darkness

Into the light

We’re betting everything, we’re betting everything

We’re betting everything on ourselves tonight
