I was born right here on Randolph St. in Freehold                             

Here, right behind that big red maple in Freehold                             

Well, I went to school right here, got laid, and had my first beer in Freehold

Well, my folks both lived and worked right here in Freehold                   

I remember running up the street past the convent and church here in Freehold 

Chased my daddy down in these bars, first fell in love with this guitar       

here in Freehold                                                              

                                                                              

Well, I had my first kiss at the YMCA canteen on Friday night                 

Maria Espinosis tell me where are you tonight?                                

You were 13 but way ahead of your time, I walked home with a limp but I felt  

fine that night in Freehold                                                   

Well, the girls at Freehold Regional they looked pretty fine                  

had my heart broke at least a half dozen times                                

I wonder if they miss me, if they still get the itch                          

if they'd dump me if they knew I'd strike it rich                             

straight out of Freehold                                                      

                                                                          

Well, Tex rest in peace, and Marion gave us kids a hand in Freehold       

George and I started up a little rock and roll band in Freehold           

Well, we learned pretty quick how to rock, I'll never forget the feeling  

of that first 5 bucks in my pocket that I earned in Freehold              

I got outta here really hard and fast in Freehold                         

Everyone wanted to kick my ass back there in Freehold                     

Well, if you were different, black or brown                               

it was a bit of a red neck town back then in Freehold                     

                                                                          

Well, something broke my daddy's back in Freehold                         

In '69 he left and he never come back to Freehold                         

Said, once he drove from California, 3000 miles in 3 days                   

called my relatives some dirty names and drove straight out of Freehold   

My sister had her first little baby at 17 in Freehold                     

Well, people they can be pretty mean                                      

Honey, you had a rough road to go, but you ain't made of nothin' but soul 

I love you more than you'll ever know                                     

We both survived Freehold                                                 

                                                                            

Well, my buddy Mike, he's the mayor now in Freehold                         

I remember when we used to have a lot more hair in Freehold                 

Well, I left and swore I'd never walk these streets again, Jack             

Tonight all I can say is, holy shit I'm back, back in Freehold              

Well, this summer everything was green in Freehold                          

Rode my kids on the fire engine through the streets of Freehold             

I showed 'em where daddy was born and raised, and first felt the sun on his 

face                                                                        

there in Freehold                                                           

I still got a lot of good friends right here in town                        

I can usually find me a free beer somewhere, with offers of free meals I am 

blessed...                                                                  

Should I go crazy, blow all my money and ruin my life,                      

well at least I'll never go hungry, I guess, here in Freehold               

                                                                            

Well, I got a good Catholic education here in Freehold                      

Led to an awful lot of masturbation here in Freehold                        

Father, it was just something I did for a smile                             

Hell, I still get a good one off once in a while  

and dedicate it to Freehold                       

Don't get me wrong, I ain't puttin' nobody down   

Hell, in the end it all just goes and comes around

It's one hell of a town                           

Freehold....
