The Charlie Daniels Band - The Girl Next Door lyrics

[Verse] Almost all of my life every day and every night The only thing that I could think of Was doing all I could do to find me a true blue A foxy little lady to love I looked uptown down-town looking all around town Searching and trying so hard Looking for the right face but looking in the wrong place I should have looked in my back yard Cause I found everything I was a looking for When I fell in love with the pretty little girl next door She went away to college to get herself some knowledge She just got back a month ago She had changed a whole lot I found out she was not That little girl I used to know As little freckled faced tomboy who used to make a lot of noise Running around the neighbourhood Was sitting on the front porch in a pair of short shorts And buddy she was looking good I got what I want I'll never ask for more When I fell in love with the pretty little girl next door We're going to move way out to a little biddy town Where the living is nice and slow Where they ain't got nothing but a general store One street and a picture show I hope we have a little boy going to be my pride and joy Raise him by the golden rule Watch him while he grows tall fishing poles and football Apple pie and Sunday school So goodbye bright lights single bars and wild nights Goodbye all you partying girls You can't find what I've got in honky tonks and night spots And I wouldn't trade it for the world Tell the boys at the hideaway I hope they had a nice day Tell them all I said goodbye I would've dropped around but I'm going out of town And besides I've got a ring to buy So long old friend I'm headed out the door With my blue eyed ever loving pretty little girl next door the girl next door I got all I want I'll never ask for more When I fell in love with the pretty little girl next door I said the girl next door [Outro] I'm talking bout the girl that foxy little girl that pretty little girl next door[x4]
