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.
