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
     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
     You can close your eyes you can fall and die
     You can hope your laws will make it go away
     You can close your eyes but you 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 placemat or a wife
     Hey hey hey hey Pennsylvania is wrong!
