I was born right here on randolph street 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 always lived and worked right here in freehold   I remember running up the street, past the condo to the church here in   Freehold   Chase my daddy down in these bars   First fell in love with this guitar   Here in frehold      Well, I had my first kiss at the ymca canteen on a friday night   Maria espenoza tell me where are you tonight?    You were 13 but way ahead of your time   I walked home with a limb but I felt fine   That night in freehold      Well, the girls at freehold regional they looked pretty fine   And my heart broke at least half a dozen times   I wonder if they miss me, they still get the itch   Would they have dumped me if they knew I'd strike a bridge?    Straight out of freehold      Well, tex, rest in peace, and marion gave us kids a hand in freehold   George and me 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      Well, I got outta here really hard and fast in freehold   Everybody wanted to kick my ass back there in freehold   Well, if you were different, black or brown   It was a bit of a redneck 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   'cept once he drove from california, 3000 miles in three days   Called my relatives some dirty names   And pulled 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, well, 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 their dad was born and raised   And first felt the sun on his face   There in freehold      Well, 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' anybody down   Hell, in the end it all just goes and comes around   It's one hell of a town, freehold!
