Carry On

Big city miles stretchin' out into the terminal horizon
Don't you know we had to get away?
There was two kids with a beat up nova
And a dream and a two a.m. song
It was two kids with a beat up nova singin'
Come carry on, singin'

Come, come, carry on till the night's all gone
Come, carry on, come right where we belong

The impossible girl lit a cigarette
And said, "I don't give a damn if we never come home"
And I turned to her in the old starlight
And a tender amazement swallowed up the night

We could walk along, be forever strong
Drive into the night and the right and the wrong
It was two kids with a beat up nova
And a dream and a two a.m. song, singin'

Come, come carry on till the night's all gone
Come carry on, come right where we belong

There ain't no dream like the one that's real
Ashby to eighty, eighty to the bridge
Bridge down to one, route one carry on
We ate the night up and we shot the big coast
'Cause the shoreline makes a heart open like a rose

She found a song on the radio
And it wiped all the blood off my halo
It was two kids whose hearts were their own
Toughest at the world has ever known

Come, come carry on till the night's all gone
Come carry on, come right where we belong
Come, come carry on till the night's all gone
Come carry on, come right where we belong
