The Girl Next Door (And Me)

[Verse 1]
Stock room of a small town store,
Thinking 'bout the girl next door,
Who's not next door but beside me,
Talking 'bout life and our dreams,
and she, says she wants to be an actress,
and I, say I'll play my songs for crowds,
and then, she takes me by my hand,
and says why don't we start now,

[Chorus]
And ohhhh, it's a simple life,
we're packing my car, turning toward the night,
Not stopping 'til we get out there,
no time for feeling our fear
And, Ohhhh, with her by my side,
I know that i'll be alright,
we're going down to live our dream,
it's just, the girl next door and me

[Verse 2]
Mile marker 109,
It's where we stopped for the night,
In this little road side inn,
We became more then friends
I know that she's thinking
That I'll just up and leave
But right now I'm thinking
What's better then what's in here?

[Chorus]
And ohhhh, it's a simple life,
we're packing my car, turning toward the night,
Not stopping 'til we get out there,
no time for feeling our fear
And, Ohhhh, with her by my side,
I know that i'll be alright,
we're going down to live our dream,
it's just, the girl next door and me

[Bridge]
Ev---ery---day----
I'll feel--- the--- same---
No matter what, No matter how
I know that, I'm in it now

[Chorus slower, softer]
And ohhhh, it's a simple life,
we're packing my car, turning toward the night,
Not stopping 'til we get out there,
no time for feeling our fear
And, Ohhhh, with her by my side,
I know that i'll be alright,
we're going down to live our dream,
it's just, the girl next door and me

The girl next door-------
and me, oh yea

just the girl next door-----------------------------
and me
