Across The Driveway

(Melody intro)

​[Verse 1]

Yellow sundress on a Sunday morn’

Watering the roses on her front lawn

She’s got her hair tied back in a messy knot

And she doesn't even know just what she’s got.

I’m leaning on the fence with a "hey" and a wave

Trying to find the words, trying to be brave.

​[Pre-Chorus]

She’s a little bit of magic, a little bit of grace

The kind of "hello" that you can't replace.

Yeah, it’s a short walk, but a long way to go

To tell her what I think she already knows.

​[Chorus] – The Big Sing-Along

Oh-oh, she’s the girl next door

Everything I’m looking for and a little bit more!

Blue jeans, white tee, sweet as can be

Living in the house at twenty-three.

I don’t need the world, I don’t need the lights

Just the girl next door on a Saturday.

​[Verse 2]

She’s got a laugh like a song on the radio

The kind of girl that you never wanna let go.

We talk about the weather and the neighborhood news

While I’m staring at the laces on my worn-out shoes.

She’s got a way of making everything feel right

Like a porch light glowing in the middle of the night.

​[Bridge]

(Keep it simple—just handclaps and a beat)

No red carpet, no high heels

Just that "home-sweet-home" kind of feel.

One street over, one heart away

I’m gonna ask her out today!

​[Outro]

Yeah, the girl next door... (Oh-oh-oh)

She’s everything and more. (Oh-oh-oh)

Right there at twenty-three.

She’s the one for me.
