Douglas Horne - Garden State lyrics

My native state is not a state of disaster Set out from home and come back after Being away for less than a day And I just can't wait to be back in the garden state It smells like trash And tollbooth cash But I just can't wait to get back and spend Some quality time In the traffic lines That take me up and down the turnpike and home again The Florida sun, and oily seas They never did appeal to me The swamps and the sands I never could stand, maybe it's just me My native state is not a state of disaster Set out from home and come back after Being away for less than a day And I just can't wait to be back in the garden state The boardwalk and beach Are all within reach From here it doesn't take much time To visit the land Of the spray on tan And inebriated state of mind I never enjoyed the ice and the snow Of the winter in Ontario Those crazy canucks would tell me America s**s but at least My native state is not a state of disaster Set out from home and come back after Being away for less than a day And I just can't wait to be back in the garden state I don't know just why I chose To leave this place, but now I know That even if it isn't everybody's cup of tea It's still my one and only home From Cape May down to Bayonne There's nowhere else on planet earth I'd rather be So if you're around If you come to town From Trenton down to Cumberland Bay The people you meet and the signs on the street Will bid a Jersey get out and enjoy your stay in the In the garden state, in the garden state My native state is not a state of disaster In the Garden state, in the garden state
