[Intro: I'm From New Jersey by Red Mascara]

I'm from New Jersey and I'm proud about it

I love the garden state

I'm from New Jersey and I brag about it

I think it's simply great

All of the other states throughout the nation

May mean a lot to some

But I'll take New Jersey

'Cause New Jersey is like no other

I'm glad that's where I'm from


[Verse 1]

Yeah well there was a time when I could say it right to you

That I would never wanna leave this place

But now it's "I was wrong"

"Don't wanna fucking talk about it"

'Cause it feels like things have changed

Yeah, I could talk, talk, talk

And say I'm wrong, wrong, wrong

But I feel I'm in a place

I've never known

There's something wrong, something wrong, something wrong

And I know

I don't wanna know


[Chorus]

And I'm feeling like I'm

Never going back, no I'm never going back, no

And I'm feeling like I'm

Never going back again

Never going back again


[Verse 2]

Yeah well there was a time when I'd say I must be crazy

I would say this place is looking strange

But now it's "I'm kinda lost" and "I just don't remember"

'Cause things never stay the same

Yeah, I could talk, talk, talk

And say I'm wrong, wrong, wrong

But I feel I'm in a place

I've never known

There's something wrong, something wrong, something wrong

And I know

I don't wanna know


[Chorus]

And I'm feeling like I'm

Never going back, no I'm never going back, no

And I'm feeling like I'm

Never going back again

Never going back again


[Chorus]

And I'm feeling like I'm

Never going back, no I'm never going back, no

And I'm feeling like I'm

Never going back again

Never going back again

Again (no!)
