Ridin' down the road in my pick-up truck
Ya better get ready cause I'm pickin' you up
With a full moon a shinin' and a little bit a luck
We'll run out outta gas and maybe get stuck
We could get lost baby I don't care
I ain't worried as long as you're there
There ain't no place that I'd rather be
Next to sittin' next to me
There ain't no place that I'd rather be
Next to you, next to me 

Barbecue chicken in aluminum foil
Just enough money for my gas and oil
Who needs your shrimp and your caviar?
I'd sooner have you just the way you are
Rich people got their money to hold
Mansion on the hill 'n' diamonds and gold
Well, it can't compare as far as I can see
Next to sittin' next to me
There ain't no place that I'd rather be
Next to you, next to me

Radio playin' our favorite song
I'll change the station if the news comes on
When the signal ain't comin' in too strong
We'll make our music honey all night long
If the Good Lord's willin' when we're old and gray
The kids are grown up and moved away
We'll be rocking' here side by side
With the BBQ chicken and the TV guide
Well, it can't compare as far as I can see
Next to sittin' next to me
There ain't no place that I'd rather be
Next to you, next to me

Shenandoah

Shenandoah is an American country music group founded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in 1984 by Marty Raybon (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Ralph Ezell (bass guitar, backing vocals), Stan Thorn (keyboards, backing vocals), Jim Seales (lead guitar, backing vocals), and Mike McGuire (drums, background vocals). Thorn and Ezell left the band in the mid-1990s, with Rocky Thacker taking over on bass guitar; Keyboardist Stan Munsey joined the line up in 1995. The band split up in 1997 after Raybon left. Seals, Munsey and McGuire reformed the band in 2000 with lead singer Brent Lamb, who was in turn replaced by Curtis Wright and then by Jimmy Yeary. Ezell rejoined in the early 2000s, and after his 2007 death, he was replaced by Mike Folsom. more »
