(Right here next to me, right here next to me)

(Right here next to me, right here next to me)

Tell me why

Are you so quiet all the time?

'Cause you say that you'll be fine

But I know you're dead inside

And hey

It's okay to let me in

'Cause I know you're sufferin'

And I wanna ease your pain

Doesn't even matter where we're going, going

At a hundred miles an hour, yeah we ain't slowin', slowin'

Headin' down the freeway in your dad's old Cherokee

There's no place I'd rather be

When you're right here next to me

Next to me

(Right here next to me)

When you're right here next to me

If I could change

All the memories you have

Of your boyfriend who got mad

When you told him you were sad

Then I would

But it's okay to look on back

See how far you've come along

Take a breath and hit the gas

Doesn't even matter where we're going, going

At a hundred miles an hour, yeah we ain't slowin', slowin'

Headin' down the freeway in your dad's old Cherokee

There's no place I'd rather be

When you're right here next to me

Next to me

(Right here next to me)

When you're right here next to me

Next to me

(Right here next to me)

There's no place I'd rather be

When you're right here next to me

And as the door finally closes

On that chapter of your life

I see you wander through the roses

With that little twinkle in your eyes

And when you're feelin' at your lowest

I'll give you whatever you need

'Cause in the end I know you know it

There's no place I'd rather be

When you're right here next to

Right here next to me

(Right here next to me)

Doesn't even matter where we're going, going

At a hundred miles an hour, yeah we ain't slowin', slowin'

Headin' down the freeway in your dad's old Cherokee

There's no place I'd rather be

When you're right here next to me

Next to me
