Next To You, Next To Me
(RIV 362) Joe Saltel
OPENER
Grand Square
Riding down the road in my pick-up truck,
You’d better get ready, ‘cause I’m pickin’ you up.
With a full moon shining and a little bit of luck,
We’ll run out of gas and we’ll maybe get stuck.
Four Boys Promenade the inside, go walking ‘round and go,
Come back and Swing and Promenade her home.
There ain’t no place that I’d rather be,
Next to you, sittin’ next to me.
FIGURE
Head [side] two gonna Promenade, half way and go,
Walk into the middle and Pass the Ocean you know.
Extend and then you Swing Thru and the Boy, you Run Right.
Tag the Line all the way through and Cloverleaf tonight.
Girls come in Square Thru, count ‘em Three.
Boys reach in with a Left Courtesy Turn and Promenade.
There ain’t no place that I’d rather be,
Next to you, sittin’ next to me.
MIDDLE BREAK
Grand Square
Barbeque chicken in aluminum foil,
Just enough money for my gas and oil.
Who needs your shrimp and your caviar?
I’d sooner have you just the way you are.
Four Boys Promenade the inside, go walking ‘round and go.
Come back and Swing and Promenade her home.
There ain’t no place that I’d rather be,
Next to you, sittin’ next to me.
CLOSER
Grand Square
If the Good Lord’s willin’ when we’re old and gray,
The kids are grown up and moved away.
We’ll be rockin’ there side by side.
With a barbeque chicken and the TV guide.
Four Boys Promenade the inside, go walking ‘round and go.
Come back and Swing and Promenade her home.
There ain’t no place that I’d rather be,
Next to you, sittin’ next to me.
