lirik lagu vanny goodfella - new jersey highways
intro (melodic, echo)
ooh, yeah
turnpike lights through my window, babe
we ridin’ these new jersey highways tonight
verse 1
cruisin’ down the turnpike, city lights in my eyes
garden state reflection, feel the weight of these nights
rahway to irvington, corners where the pain hides
packets and promises traded for a moment of flight
north newark stories, east orange painted low
elizabeth shoulders heavy with places i won’t go
atlantic breeze tryin’ to wash the taste from my throat
but the highway whispers soft and the needle wants to know
pre‑chorus
fast lane livin’, got me lookin’ for a sign
chasin’ little angels in the glow of taillight shine
every exit’s memories and every mile is time
if i don’t slow down, i’m losin’ pieces of my mind
chorus (hook — melodic, singable)
on new jersey highways, we gettin’ high to hide the night
smoke and glass and hollow laughs beneath the streetlight
from the pizza shops to rivers where the city cries
we keep rollin’ on, on new jersey highways
verse 2
whispers in the backseat, secrets trade like cash
white lines and winter breath, all the good things crash
mushroom sundays, blunt smoke braided with the past
but the morning comes and leaves the hollow feelin’ last
some do it for escape, some do it ’cause they stray
some trade love for silence, let the fumes show the way
huffin’ paper promises, curled up on a stoop
but the highway keeps on hummin’, got us all in the loop
pre‑chorus
fast lane livin’, sirens echo in the dark
county signs like bullet points carved into my heart
every heartboard broken but we drivin’ past the scars
if we don’t change lanes, these highways leave their mark
chorus (hook)
on new jersey highways, we gettin’ high to hide the night
smoke and glass and hollow laughs beneath the streetlight
from the pizza shops to rivers where the city cries
we keep rollin’ on, on new jersey highways
bridge (sung, vulnerable)
mama prayin’ on the front porch while my rearview shows the truth
kids playin’ in the lot, dreams folded like old proof
i hear the ocean callin’ from the boardwalk to the pier
tell me who i’m chasin’ when the exit’s gettin’ near
verse 3 (spoken~sung, reflective)
no instruction in these lines — just the ache and the names
newark nights, elizabeth flames, and the silent chains
i seen brothers fade on corners where the lights stay dim
and sisters holdin’ hope in lobbies that don’t win
we used to dance by the river with our whole hearts wide
now we pass the days by numbers and a vanishing high
if you feel the pull, don’t hide it in the chrome and sky
there’s more than one way off this road and back to life
breakdown (soft, raw)
garden state echo — listen close, you ain’t alone
rivers keep on flowin’ even when the town feels gone
pizza boxes cold and prayers still warm the stone
come ride with me somewhere that the highways don’t own
final chorus (big, layered)
on new jersey highways, we gettin’ high to hide the night
smoke and glass and hollow laughs beneath the streetlight
from the pizza shops to rivers where the city cries
we keep rollin’ on, on new jersey highways
on new jersey highways, sayin’ prayers into the sky
tired hands, tired plans, but i don’t wanna say goodbye
from atlantic ocean breeze to the county line
find your way back home from these new jersey highways
outro (spoken, calm)
i know the road’s loud, but the quiet’s where you start to breathe
if you wanna get off, there’s a way — you don’t gotta leave yourself behind
