Used to work with guys who would spend much of their waking hours jumping from one bed to the other. Always driving, always hiding one girlfriend from the other from the wife. Wonder if they ever got off that treadmill.
lyrics
LYRICS: THE NEW, JERSEY BOUNCE
Put your toes in the fire, and see if it burns
Stretch your arms to the sky, and do a slow turn
You got a smokin’ little number, up in Ft. Lee
But you’re down on the boardwalk, now how old is she?
Chorus
You’re doin’ the new, Jersey Bounce
You’re doin’ the new, Jersey Bounce
Baby that same old new, Jersey Bounce
You’re drivin,’ Jersey bouncin’ - all night long
Now the highway of temptation, is full of jealousy & doubt
Says the airwave preacher, fadin’ in and out
He heard from the heavens, and isn’t good news
You’ve used up all your credits, now you gotta pay your dues
Chorus
Tell the man, about your evil ways (sinner)
Confess your deeds, and it’s all ok (sinner)
You promise not, to do it again (sinner)
But it’s just a question of where and when (sinner)
Out about and about, you got no doubts, passion can’t be slowed
She’s unaware, you got no cares, got no heavy load
Born again, and then again, salvation’s round the bend
Make some time, turn on a dime, someone shout “Amen!”
Six lanes of road, turnpike to heaven
Miles slip away
Goodbye Cape May, Hello Secaucus
Get down pray.
Parkway hoppin’ ain’t no stoppin’
Look out Pennsauken
You know the way
Chorus
Still seein’ that chick in Brick?
That little shiver in Tom’s River?
Is Sherry still in Cherry Hill?
Getting’ down in Bordentown?
