Lyrics From Live Performance

[Verse 1]
I sit and cry in California and I'm havin' a vision
Of my dad tellin' stories about nothin' specific
It's a little wisdom of the world
A little for his baby girl
And I'm thinkin' 'bout the nights
Me and Bobby would drive
To the ends of the earth
It felt so big at the time
But it was really just the cul-de-sac
I wish that I could get it back

[Pre-Chorus]
And sometimes life gets in the way
But whenever I get lonely
The only thing that holds me

[Chorus]
Is the Garden State, Exit 98
In my hometown bar, yeah, we had it made
Whеre the boardwalk meets the bеach
And the good times never leave
I wanna make 'em proud, 'cause they made me this
Tell my life in songs on some legend shit
Be the female Bruce Springsteen
Maybe it's what's in this drink or
Maybe it's the Jersey in me
[Verse 2]
I overshare all my feelings and my mouth likes to curse
I drive like a psycho
I love so hard that it hurts
It's my edges, yeah they're kind of rough
It's my Italian mother in my blood

[Chorus]
It's the Garden State, Exit 98
In my hometown bar, yeah, we had it made
Where the boardwalk meets the beach
And the good times never leave
I wanna make 'em proud, 'cause they made me this
Tell my life in songs on some legend shit
Be the female Bruce Springsteen
Maybe it's what's in this drink or
Maybe it's the Jersey in me

[Bridge]
Oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-ohh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-ohh
[Outro]
It's the Garden State, Exit 98
In my hometown bar, yeah, we had it made
Where the boardwalk meets the beach
And the good times never leave
