Sally called, She said "I suppose you've heard about Alice" Well, I rushed to the window, and I looked outside And I could hardly believe my eyes This big limousine pulled slowly into Alice's drive 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 want to know 'Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice 24 years, just waitin' for a chance To tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance Now I've gotta get used to not living next door to Alice Grew up together, two kids in the park Carved our initials deep in the bark Now she walks to 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 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 want to know 'Cause for 24 years I've been living next door to Alice Just waitin' for a chance, to tell her how I'm feeling, maybe get a second glance No, I'll never get used to not living next door to Alice Jake then jumped on an old motorcycle that He rode around with Alice when they were kids and taught her drive. He tried to catch up with the limousine, finally the limousine stopped at the bridge, with tears in his eyes standing by their old motorcycle, in front of the car, begged Alice to get out so he could tell her something. Finally, after 24 years, he told her how he felt about her, and then they got on a motorcycle and drove home.
