Bottle Rockets - Kid Next Door lyrics

rate me

Scott Taylor/Brian Henneman

chorus:

The kid next door

The kid next door

Now he ain't comi'n home no more

I watched him grow

I watched him go

Now he ain't comin' home no more...

He was a high school football star

And that boy really loved his car

I can still hear that loud hip hop

As he was comin down the block

Remember there in my garage

In his desert camoflage

He told me not to worry none

He'd be back when his work was done

chorus

Some nights I can hear the sound

Of a football game way 'cross town

Without his number or his name

People cheerin' just the same

Now that kid is forever gone

Was it right or was it wrong

Did it change the bottom line

We keep on livin' as we keep on dyin

chorus

Sittin' there all alone

Parked out back like his tombstone

A black '02 Camaro

With a silent kick ass stereo
