Oh, I don't know why she's
leavin' or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
but I just don't wanna know
But I'll never get used to not
livin' next door to
Dallas
Sally called when she got the word
And she said I suppose
you've heard
About
Alice
When I rushed to the window,
and I looked out the side
And I could hardly believe my eyes
As the big limousine rolled up into
Alice's drive
Oh, I don't know where she's
leaving or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons,
but I just don't wanna know
Cause for 24 years I've
been living next door to
Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe
get a second glance
But I'll never get used to
not living next door to
Alice
We grew up together, two kids in the park
With carved ornitials deep in the bark
Me and
Alice
Now she walks through the door
With her head held high
Just for a moment
I caught her eye
As the big limousine
Pulled slowly
Out of
Alice's drive
Oh, I don't know why she left
Or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons
But I just don't wanna know
Cause for 24 years I've
been living next door to
Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe
get a second glance
But I'll never get used to not
living next door to
Alice
Sally called back and asked how I felt
She said I know how to help
Get over
Alice
She said, no,
Alice is gone, but I'm still here
You know I've been waiting for 24 years
And the big limousine disappeared
Oh, I don't know why she's
leaving or where she's gonna go
I guess she's got her reasons,
but I just don't wanna know
Cause for 24 years I've
been living next door to
Alice
24 years just waiting for a chance
To tell her how I feel and maybe
get a second glance
But I'll never get used to not
living next door to
Alice
No, I'll never get used to
not living next door to
Alice
