It's amazing how a masterpiece can fall to pieces
What we will have is what we have built
And all that we have is stricken with guilt
And we don't pay attention
And you can leave it to me
I'll make sure you know
It all disappears the farther we grow apart

It's a lonely night in Jersey
Will you come pick me up?
I'll hop in the truck with you
We'll figure it out (somewhere along the way)
It's a lonely night in Jersey
Will you sing to me please?
I'm down on my knees for you
We'll figure it out (somewhere along the way)

Call me crazy but I'm starting to imagine
That I've listened to what the critics have said
And swallowing all the food that I'm fed
And we can't let that happen
You can find someone else
I won't hold you back
The moon will continue burning the blacktop
Whoa-oh!
It's a lonely night in Jersey
Will you come pick me up?
I'll hop in the truck with you
We'll figure it out (somewhere along the way)
It's a lonely night in Jersey
Will you sing to me please?
I'm down on my knees for you
We'll figure it out (somewhere along the way)

It's a long, long drive for you and me
It's a long, long road to where you'll be
Highway hopes on dial tones
Through microphones and satellites
I want you to understand that…

It's a lonely night in Jersey
Will you come pick me up?
I'll hop in the truck with you
We'll figure it out (somewhere along the way)
It's a lonely night in Jersey
Will you sing to me please?
I'm down on my knees for you
We'll figure it out (somewhere along the way)

It's a lonely night in Jersey (I'll see you tonight)
Won't you come back soon? (I hope you come back)
It's a lonely night in Jersey (I'll see you tonight)
Won't you come back soon?
I hope you come back.
