Lyrics Neighborhood Girl - The Statler Brothers
It
started
about
the
time
she
was
born,
Her
rising
above
the
raising
of
corn,
Her
Midwestern
dream
of
winning
the
world.
And
she
was
always
my
neighborhood
girl.
She
made
cheerleader
and
I
made
the
team.
I
carried
her
books
while
she
carried
her
dream
Of
magazine
covers
and
Hollywood
world
And
she
was
always
my
neighborhood
girl.
I
went
in
the
Navy
when
war
came
along
And
cried
every
time
I
heard
a
love
song,
For
as
I
was
sailing
half-way
'round
the
world,
I
still
loved
my
neighborhood
girl.
I
came
home
one
Christmas
on
thirty
days'
leave.
The
things
that
I
heard
I
couldn't
believe.
She
still
had
dreams
that
were
out
of
this
world,
But
she
was
now
the
neighborhood
girl.
Two
wars
have
come
and
gone
in
between
And
all
of
my
sons
are
now
in
their
teens.
And
I
read
in
the
paper
she's
now
left
this
world
And
I
cried
one
last
time
for
my
neighborhood
girl.
My
neighborhood
girl.
