Pennsylvania Is... - Everclear

Jackson met a girl in a valley town 
They fell into a teenage love she'd grow to hate 
He's in prison now since he beat her down 
He got her pregnant and she made it go away 
Hey hey hey hey Pennsylvania 
Pennsylvania 
I got a card today from a girl I know 
She used to live alone in Philadelphia 
She had to leave the state for a choice she made 
She says she feels just like a hostage in her home 
Hey hey hey hey Pennsylvania 
Pennsylvania 
You can close your eyes you can fall and die 
You can make your laws and make it go away 
You can close your eyes but you can't make it go away 
Can't make it go away 
I just got a call from my uncle Mike 
He said he left his wife and he's not going back 
Said she changed her mind about a desire child 
I asked him if he wants a place mat or a wife 
Hey hey hey hey Pennsylvania 
Pennsylvania is wrong
