It's about fifteen miles to California, get there Friday if they leave tonight, She sneaks out at thirty in the morning, a note so she won't see her daddy cry.
He cuts the engine when he in the driveway, She slides in and him one kiss for the road, No and no family, no job out there waiting, The whole town will call them crazy but gotta go.
Cause you're young and in love, yeah, You might do things that don't seem all that smart, Cause ain't no greater distance Than the eighteen from your head to your heart, yeah.
They can make rent on a rundown apartment, She's tables and he's a valet, behind on the bills and the car's barely running, But he buys a ring with the that he's saved.
When young and in love, yeah, You do some things that don't seem all that smart, Cause ain't no greater distance Than the eighteen from your head to your heart.
Last thing they need is another mouth to feed, but want one, They're just themselves but that's gonna change in nine more months,
She wakes him up at thirty in the morning, Ready or not their new gonna start, Seven pounds and inches, The doctor that new baby's head right on her heart.
you're young and in love, yeah, You might do some things that don't all that smart, But thank God for eighteen inches, The distance it is from your to your heart, yeah, yeah, yeah.
