Lyrics
[Verse 1 — Winter]
You wake to salt on the porch rail,
Boot prints crossing the county trail,
The kettle hums, the bare trees sway,
We make our own heat through a short gray day.
At the diner, coffee fills the room,
Snowmelt waits beneath the broom,
You pull your coat tight, smile at me,
Jersey keeps a spark beneath the freeze.
[Chorus]
We’re close to the lakes, close to the mountains,
Close to the city where the tall buildings sway,
Close to the shore when the summer rolls in,
A little bit of everywhere, right where we’ve been.
From back-road bends to the boardwalk lights,
You can change the view before night,
No matter which way the highways run,
Jersey puts the whole wide world within reach of everyone.
[Verse 2 — Spring]
By April, the maples turn soft green,
Rain taps time on the trampoline,
Little league dust on a Saturday glove,
Tulips lean toward the house we love.
The farmers set out their roadside stands,
Fresh dirt clings to our working hands,
You say, “Let’s go,” and I know the route,
Every new road has a way of opening out.
[Chorus]
We’re close to the lakes, close to the mountains,
Close to the city where the tall buildings sway,
Close to the shore when the summer rolls in,
A little bit of everywhere, right where we’ve been.
From back-road bends to the boardwalk lights,
You can change the view before night,
No matter which way the highways run,
Jersey puts the whole wide world within reach of everyone.
[Verse 3 — Summer]
July leaves heat on the hood of the car,
We chase the sunset past the water tower,
Peaches in a paper bag, sand in our shoes,
A radio arguing over which way to choose.
We’ll take the river or head downtown,
Find a quiet field or a crowded town,
Then meet the ocean with the windows down,
Salt on our skin as the sun goes down.
[Chorus]
We’re close to the lakes, close to the mountains,
Close to the city where the tall buildings sway,
Close to the shore when the summer rolls in,
A little bit of everywhere, right where we’ve been.
From back-road bends to the boardwalk lights,
You can change the view before night,
No matter which way the highways run,
Jersey puts the whole wide world within reach of everyone.
[Verse 4 — Autumn]
October writes copper across the hills,
Apples knock softly in wooden bins,
Football lights come on by half-past six,
The evening smells like leaves and candle wicks.
You tuck your hands inside my sleeves,
We watch the last gold leave the trees,
And every road we know looks new,
When the year turns its colors back to you.
[Final Chorus]
We’re close to the lakes, close to the mountains,
Close to the city where the tall buildings sway,
Close to the shore when the summer rolls in,
A little bit of everywhere, right where we’ve been.
From first frost mornings to boardwalk nights,
From quiet farms to the skyline lights,
No matter which way the highways run,
Jersey puts the whole wide world within reach of everyone.
