Jersey Girl from WikiPedia:

from the album Heartattack and Vine

"Jersey Girl" is a song composed and originally sung by American singer-songwriter Tom Waits from his 1980 album Heartattack and Vine. It subsequently became best known in a live version by Bruce Springsteen in the 1980s.

Waits wrote the song with his future wife Kathleen Brennan, who had been living in New Jersey. It's one of Waits' most tender songs, and captures a feeling of romantic longing despite its somewhat gritty details:

Waits would state in a 1980 interview that, "I never thought I would catch myself saying 'sha la la' in a song ... This is my first experiment with 'sha la la.'" Waits' recording includes drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, and glockenspiel, in an arragement that captures the feeling of the seashore by way of "Under the Boardwalk" or "Spanish Harlem".
