The Bouncing Souls - So Jersey
This song always gets me feeling so righteous. When you’re awoken after being in such a funk, and everything becomes clear, you get that righteousness that cannot be defeated. Everything is suddenly a challenge that you can easily overcome. That, and life itself needs a soundtrack. Where would I be without the Souls in my life? Nowhere near the artist I feel that I am today, and I have them to thank for a majority of the confidence I have in myself. I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s been influenced by them. Have you?
“So Jersey” appears on The Gold Record, released by Epitaph Records in 2006.
Lyrics:
The sun shines brightly on a Jersey afternoon
He walked in his parents footsteps on his way home from school
Those ties that were so sweet, also burned under his feet
Now he’s ready to walk a path that is new and he can’t turn back
He can’t turn back
He can’t turn back
Burning through the crowds, he made it out alive
Betting everything on himself tonight
Tonight
She’s driving down the shore on a Jersey afternoon
She’s driving down the same old roads her parents took her through
Hypnotized by those broken lines, broken records lost in time
She’s turning down a road that is new and she can’t turn back
No, she can’t turn back
She can’t turn back
Stepping through the darkness, into the light
Betting everything on herself tonight
Tonight
Stepping out of a Asbury Lanes in a midnight snow
The skeleton of this old town feels like it’s coming alive
Riots and corruption, beaches and Bruce
These songs were the keys to the engines of our growing up
And we wanna say thanks to the music in our lives
Forgive ourselves for all those lies
Send some love to all the lonely
Don’t forget we’re all one family
Thanks to the music in our lives for helping us to survive
Lost in one lonely dream, born to run and live free
The sun shines brightly on us this afternoon
Walking in our own footsteps, we search for something more
And we can’t turn back
No, we can’t turn back
We can’t turn back
Stepping through the darkness, into the light
We’re betting everything, we’re betting everything
We’re betting everything, on ourselves tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight
Tonight (oh oh woah oh oh)
Tonight (oh oh woah oh oh)
Tonight (oh oh woah oh oh)
Tonight (oh oh woah oh oh)
Tonight

Bouncing Souls-Sounds of the City
best album? i think maybe so.
I had no idea this existed.
Don’t think too much, just let it loose.
