Boy Next Door Lyrics

Well he was getting kind of bored in the second decade of the twenty first century

In a nice apartment on the edge of town with a carpet and a smart TV

Fighting depression with his record collection when the band broke off the scene

Was there more to life than playing in bars and trying to party like the seventies

The crew was tight staying up all night he was the new kid on the scene

There were lots of free hugs for the people on drugs it was kinda like a family

It's cool to be cool and it felt like fun but it could never be the whole damn thing

So he cursed the floor couldn't take no more whatever happened to the boy next door

Then he heard people saying if he was a real player

He would've left this town a long time ago

Well no disrespect but last time I checked

People talk too much about the shit they don't know

Whatever happened to the boy next door

He used to be my friend but he don't come here anymore

Everybody's talking 'bout the boy next door

No matter what you see

I could be anything that you want me to be

Paying once a month for a little bit of freedom that belongs to someone else

It's not a glamorous profession but lots of people think it is

Half the country likes the president half the country needs a cigarette

He's sitting in a townie dive singing listen to the music it'll be alright

Listen to the music it'll be alright

Listen to the music it'll be alright

With three sips of confidence and a steel guitar

He's driving out the parasites that live in the dark

Whatever happened to the boy next door

We used to know him when pretending to be your best friend

You can't forget about the boy next door

He'll see you in your dreams

I could be anything that you want me to be

Woah woah woah woah

Woah woah woah

I could be anything that you want me to be

I could be anything that you want me to be

I could be anything that you want me to be

I could be anything that you want me to be

Yeah yeah yeah
