Lyrics

THE GIRL NEXT DOOR

THIS IS THE STORY OF KIMBERLY ANNE
A LOVELY LASS WHO?S LIFE WAS SAVED
SHE TOOK A LOVER, A TENDER YOUNG MAN
THEN SHE TOOK ANOTHER, WHICH LED HIM TO HIS GRAVE

LUCAS WENT A COURTING TRUE LOVE HE DID SEEK
HE FOUND KIMBERLY ANNE BY AND BY
THEY FELL MADLY IN LOVE
YES, HIS STRONG KNEES WENT WEAK
NEITHER KNOWING THAT SOMEONE WOULD DIE

LUCAS AND SKYE WERE BROTHERS IN FUN
THEY SHARED THE LOVE OF THE WOODS OF OREGON
THEY SHARED ANOTHER LOVE, FORBIDDEN YET TRUE
NEITHER KNEW WHAT THIS LOVE WOULD DO

CHORUS:

SKYE AND KIMBERLY ANNE WERE SITTING HAND IN HAND
AS THEY ANSWERED THE DOOR ONE FATEFUL EVE
LUCAS STOOD THERE CRYING, I DON'T UNDERSTAND
HOW YOU BOTH COULD CAUSE SUCH MISERY

LUCAS BORE HIS WEAPON,
SHE CRIED WHAT'S THAT IN YOUR HAND
AS HE SHOT HIS BEST FRIEND DOWN
NOT ONE NOT TWO BUT FOUR SHOTS FULL OF LEAD
THAT'S HOW KIMBERLY ANNE WAS FOUND

CHORUS:

LUCAS SAW HIS SWEETHEART AND HIS BEST FRIEND DOWN
HE FELL WHERE SKYE LAY DEAD
HE COULDN'T BEAR THE PAIN
OF THEIR CARELESS LOVE
SO HE PUT THE FINAL ROUND INTO HIS HEAD
