It's about fifteen hundred miles to California, |
| [00:23.76] |
They'll get there Friday if they leave tonight, |
| [00:28.13] |
She sneaks out at three thirty in the morning, |
| [00:32.13] |
Leaves a note so she won't see her daddy cry. |
| [00:46.13] |
He cuts the engine when he coasts in the driveway, |
| [00:50.32] |
She slides in and gives him one kiss for the road, |
| [00:54.69] |
No friends and no family, no job out there waiting, |
| [00:59.19] |
The whole town will call them crazy but they gotta go. |
| [01:03.82] |
'Cause when you're young and in love, yeah, |
| [01:08.38] |
You might do some things that don't seem all that smart, |
| [01:12.95] |
'Cause there ain't no greater distance than the eighteen inches from your |
| [01:21.45] |
Head to your heart, yeah. |
| [01:26.32] |
|
| [01:30.88] |
They can barely make rent on a rundown apartment, |
| [01:34.26] |
She's waiting tables and he's a valet, |
| [01:39.51] |
They're behind on the bills and the car's barely running, |
| [01:44.14] |
But he buys a ring with the tips that he's saved. |
| [01:49.26] |
When you're young and in love, yeah, |
| [01:53.13] |
You might do some things that don't seem all that smart, |
| [01:57.95] |
'Cause there ain't no greater distance than the eighteen inches from your |
| [02:05.11] |
Head to your heart. |
| [02:10.86] |
|
| [02:11.61] |
Last thing they need is another mouth to feed, but they won't call, |
| [02:17.61] |
|
| [02:20.48] |
Just kids themselves but that's all to change in nine more months, |
| [02:27.98] |
|
| [02:29.73] |
She wakes him up at three thirty in the morning, |
| [02:34.42] |
Ready or not their new life's going to start, |
| [02:38.73] |
Seven pounds and eighteen inches, |
| [02:45.48] |
The doctor lays that new baby's head right on her heart. |
| [02:55.48] |
When you're young and in love, yeah, |
| [02:59.67] |
You might do some things that don't seem all that smart, |
| [03:04.42] |
But thank God for those eighteen inches, |
| [03:09.86] |
The distance it is from your head to your heart, yeah, yeah, yeah. |
