[Intro: The Sopranos Sample]
"Frankly, you got a problem
With authority"
"All due respect
You got no fucking idea
What it's like to be number one"

[Verse 1]
Chaly got the power
John Boy got the amps to match
He’s climbing up the tower
To tap in to make our scratch
Good-standing, card-carrying Jersey boys
Crank it up to a higher level
U-Haul cross the state line
Don't fuck with a Jersey devil

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Garden State
Come on in, the water's great
We’re out of line and we got no time for you
Welcome to the Garden State
The best damn place in the USA
You may not agree; you bitch and you moan
I've been everywhere, but it's never like home
[?]

[Verse 2]
We loaded up the Pacer
Liquid gold in a twelve-ounce cans
We're heading down the shore
With Proc, Cheetah, Evan, and the band
Out there where the medical waste
And the water meets the sand
Watch your mouth, want a fresh one
Or you'll get the back of my hand
Big-haired, gum-chewing Jersey girls
Good manners is what I hate
She said, "This here is Billy from Philly"
Okay, get the fuck out of my state

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Garden State
Come on in, the water's great
We're out of line and we got no time for you
Welcome to the Garden State
The best damn place in the USA
You may not agree; you bitch and you moan
I've been everywhere, but it’s never like home
Been everywhere, but it’s never like home
Been everywhere, but it's never like home
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Backed up down the Parkway
Dead on 195
Turnpike has been crawling south
And so is Route 35
I got a taste for the best
And it’s better than the rest
So, pull it over if you please
My ride died on the side
Of my Jersey pride
Want to follow my [?]

One, two...
One, two, three, four

[Chorus]
Welcome to the Garden State
(Welcome to) Come on in, the water's great
(Welcome to) We're out of line and we got no time for you
Welcome to the Garden State
(Welcome to) The best damn place in the USA
You may not agree; you bitch and you moan
I've been everywhere, but it’s never like home
Welcome to the Garden State
(Welcome to) Come on in, the water's great
(Welcome to) We're out of line and we got no time for you
Welcome to the Garden State
The best damn place in the USA
You may not agree; you bitch and you moan
I've been everywhere, but it's never like home
Been everywhere, but it's never like home
Been everywhere, but it's never like home

[Outro]
Welcome to the Garden State
