"Girl Next Door" by Julie Roberts (Marti Dodson/Pat Buzzard/Kris Misevski/Dak Goodman/Jeremy Martin)

1st Verse

Small town homecoming queen
She's the star in their scene
There's no way to deny she's lovely
Perfect skin, perfect hair
Perfumed hearts everywhere
Tell myself that inside she's ugly

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'm just jealous
I can't help but hate her
Secretly I wonder
If my boyfriend wants to date her

Chorus

She is the prom queen
I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader
I'm sittin' in the stands
She gets the top bunk
I'm sleepin' on the floor
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next door
(Oh, I'm just the girl next door)

2nd Verse

Senior class president
She must be heaven sent
She was never the last one standing
A backseat debutant
Everything that you want
Never too harsh
Or too demanding

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I'll admit it
I'm a little bitter
Everybody loves her
But I just wanna hit her

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge

I don't know why
I'm feeling sorry for myself (myself)
I spend all my time wishin' that
I was someone else

Tag Chorus

She is the prom queen
I'm in the marching band
She is a cheerleader
I'm sittin' in the stands
I get a little bit
She gets a little more
She's Miss America
She's Miss America
And I'm just the girl next door

Refrain

(Every smile she fakes)
(Everything she takes)
I'm just the girl next door
(Every day I wait)
(And everything's okay)
I'm just the girl next door
(Every smile she fakes)
I'm just the girl next door
(Every heart she breaks)



   "Men & Mascara" by Julie Roberts (Marv Green/Chris Lindsey/Hillary Lindsey/Aimee Mayo)

1st Verse

Sunday dress
Hangin' on the bedroom door
Empty bottle of wine
On the hardwood floor
Last night he said she was the one
Oh, but men and mascara always run

2nd Verse

Did I give my love too soon
Or wait too long
Did I take it a little too easy
Or put it on too strong
She was lookin' for love
He was lookin' for fun
Yeah, men and mascara always run

Bridge

She ain't getting any younger
It wasn't s'pposed to be this way
Starin' in the mirror
With little black rivers runnin' down her face

3rd Verse

Tomorrow's gonna be a brand new day
She'll wake up in the mornin'
And wash it all away
Last night he said she was the one
Oh, but men and mascara always run
Yeah, men and and mascara always run



  "Break Down Here" by Julie Roberts (Jess Brown/Patrick Jason Matthews)

1st Verse

Mile marker 203
The gas gauge leanin' on the edge of E
And I'll be danged if the rain ain't pourin' down
There's somethin' smokin' underneath the hood
It's a bangin' and a clangin', and it can't be good
And it's another 50 miles to the nearest town
Everything I own's in the back in a Hefty bag
I'm outta cigarettes, and I'm down to my last drag

Chorus

(Oh no) I'd sure hate to break down here
Nothin' up ahead or in the rearview mirror
Out in the middle of nowhere knowin'
I'm in trouble if these wheels stop rollin'
So God help me, keep me movin' somehow
Don't let me start wishin' I was with him now
I've made it this far without cryin' a single tear
(And I'd sure hate to break down)
(It's too late to turn around)
And I'd sure hate to break down here (oh, no)

2nd Verse

150,000 miles ago
Before the bad blood and busted radio
You said I was all you'd ever need
But love is blind, and little did I know
That you were just another dead end road
Paved with pretty lies and broken dreams
Baby, leavin' you was easier than bein' gone
I don't know what I'll do if one more thing goes wrong

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

Mile marker 215
