Girl Next Door

(album: Jessie James - 2009)

Got a call from my friend
She saw my picture again
In a magazine
We laughed out loud
'Cuz she said "Remember when..
This was all a silly dream??"
Now I wake up every day
In a different city
A smile on my face
Somebody pinch me
She said "all the world's a stage"
But girl you know,
Those cameras n lights won't ever change me

[chorus]
I don't drink champagne
when I'm back home with my friends
We sip on tea on the porch
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door
No fancy things when I come off tour
I slip back into my jeans
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door

It's amazing to hear people singing along
Hear the radio playing my song
I still get butterflies
Still get nervous inside
In the spotlight
Now every now n then
On a Friday night
Cruising down to the dive bar
We waste the night away
Spend Saturday sleeping in late
Those were the good days

[chorus]
I don't drink champagne
when I'm back home with my friends
We sip on tea on the porch
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door
No fancy things when I come off tour
I slip back into my jeans
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door

[outro]
And even when I'm miles away
I'll always have the roots from where I came
'Cuz when it all fades away
My home will still be the same, yeah eh yeah

I don't drink champagne
when I'm back home with my friends
We sip on tea on the porch
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door
No fancy things when I come off tour
I slip back into my jeans
'Cuz I'm still the girl next door
[repeat chorus add 2x to song fade out]
