Discover the story of the song > Next To You, Next To Me – Shenandoah

The song is about the protagonist and their partner riding in a pick-up truck, enjoying each other's company under a full moon. Money and expensive things don't matter as long as they're together, listening to their favorite music and eating barbecue chicken. They hope to grow old together and share simple pleasures like that. The refrain repeats that being next to their partner is the best place to be.
