i've never paid a toll on the garden state parkway

I was born and raised in New Jersey From Cape May to the Palisades The summer's hot, the winter's cold Section 8 and thrift store clothes So shame on me for always wanting more (Always wanting more) But is this the dream that I've been waiting for? (Looked a little different, always wanted more) I've spent the worst years of my life Waiting on the best years of my life But who knew it'd slip away? It's too late (It's too late) To make a change (To make a changе) I was born and raised in New Jersеy Purposely acted harmfully On the road I learned a whole lot The hotel room was in the parking lot So shame on me to think that different places Different faces could change the disorder in my brain I've spent the worst years of my life Waiting on the best years of my life But who knew it'd slip away? It's too late (It's too late) To make a change 30 years I'm not getting back Wasted youth, couldn't face the facts My shortcomings last way too long No helping hand, they just laughed along, along I've spent the worst years of my life Looking for a remedy to help me sleep at night I've spent the worst years of my life Waiting on the best years of my life
