Red house painters new jersey lyrics

you're and american girl

red headed 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?



you're an american girl

out of line in out of time

a cry for the leading role

your bum childhood stole

a mother tires 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?
