I knew before I knew ya
That you were gonna be the one
Slow dancing in the fast lane
That's just what we do where we come from
When you lean in to kiss me
Said, "Boy, you don't deserve me"
Yeah, we started cracking up
But now, look at us, look at us, look at us
Yeah, we held on tight
Looking up all night at the lights of New York City
When you're seventeen, those basic dreams where you're dreaming right there with me
It ain't no surprise that your blue eyes still feel like home to me
We'll always be red, white, and Jersey
That summer with the top down
We were singing along to American Girl
Big diamond in a small town
When it was you and me against the world
Yeah, we both didn't know any better
That we'd live like that forever
Yeah, we held on tight
Looking up all night at the lights of New York City
When you're seventeen, those basic dreams where you're dreaming right there with me
It ain't no surprise that your blue eyes still feel like home to me
We'll always be red, white, and Jersey
Now, where have all the summers gone?
Here we are, still going strong, going strong, going strong
Yeah, we held on tight
Looking up all night at the lights of New York City
When you're seventeen, those basic dreams where you're dreaming right there with me
It ain't no surprise that your blue eyes still feel like home to me
We'll always be red, white, and Jersey
Red, white, and Jersey
Red, white, and Jersey
