[Verse 1]
It’s about fifteen hundred miles to California
They'll get there Friday if they leave tonight
She sneaks out at 3:30 in the morning
Leaves a note so she won't see her daddy cry
[Verse 2]
He cuts the engine when he coasts in the driveway
She slides in and gives him one kiss for the road
No friends and no family
No job out there waitin'
The whole town will call 'em crazy, but they gotta go
[Chorus]
'Cause when you're young and in love, yeah
You might do some things that don't seem all that smart
'Cause there ain't no greater distance
Than the eighteen inches from your head to your heart
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 3]
They can barely make rent on a rundown apartment
She's waiting tables and he's a valet
They're behind on the bills and the car's barely running
But he buys a ring with the tips that he's saved
