It's about hundred miles to California, They'll get there if they leave tonight, She sneaks out at three in the morning, Leaves a note so she see her daddy cry.
He cuts the when he coasts 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 call them crazy but they gotta go.
when you're young and in love, yeah, You might do some things that don't all that smart, there ain't no greater distance Than the eighteen inches from head to your heart, yeah.
They can barely make on a rundown apartment, She's waiting and he's a valet, They're behind on the bills and the barely running, But he buys a ring with the that he's saved.
When young and in love, yeah, You might do some things that don't all that smart, there ain't no greater distance Than the inches from your head to your heart.
Last thing they need is another to feed, but they want one, They're kids themselves but that's gonna change in nine more months,
She wakes him up at thirty in the morning, or not their new life's gonna start, Seven pounds and inches, The lays that new baby's head right on her heart.
you're young and in love, yeah, You might do some that don't seem all that smart, But God for those eighteen inches, The distance it is from head to your heart, yeah, yeah, yeah.
