Um cantor/compositor conhecido por seu rico e expressivo barítono, o nativo de Nova Jérsei John Gorka foi uma das principais luzes do novo movimento do folk. John começou sua carreira enquanto frequentava a faculdade em Pensilvânia no começo dos anos 80, aparecendo em noites de open-mike em um café local antes de eventualmente formar seu próprio grupo, The Razzy Dazzy Spasm Band. Logo ele caiu na estrada, performando pela Costa Leste de cima

BmA Who have that great big hair
G They're found in shopping malls
BmA I will Take you there
(repeat intro)
Im from New Jersey. It's not like Texas. There is no mystery, I can't pretend.
I'm from New Jersey, it's like Ohio, But even more so. Imagine that.
(bridge #2)
I know which exit, and where I'm bound, Tolls on the Parkway they will slow you down.
(back to main chords)
New Jersey people, they will surprise you, Cause they're not expected to do too much.
They will try harder, they may go further, They never think that they are good enough.
I'm from New Jersey, I don't expect too much. If the world ended today I would adjust.
D I would adjust
GAD I would adjust
