[Chorus]
Next to you, I like me
In your loving arms is where I always want to be
By your side, my whole life through, yeah
Next to me, next to you

[Verse 1]
I left home to see the world when I was just seventeen
Paid my way from coast to coast and everything in between
Searching for something I could believe in, making it on my own
But I knew the minute I looked in your eyes, I was ready to make a home

[Chorus]
Next to you, I like me
In your loving arms is where I always want to be
By your side, my whole life through, yeah
Next to me, next to you

[Verse 2]
I never thought much of settling down with anyone else before
But since I met you all I can do is think about us anymore
We have blue skies, country mornings, as far as the heart can see
And we've got a dream that we can share, baby, that's all we need

[Chorus]
Next to you, I like me
In your loving arms is where I always want to be
By your side, my whole life through, yeah
Next to me, next to you
Next to me, next to you
