Underwood Carrie-歌词

Written by：Lovelace John Kelley/Gorley Ashley/Underwood Carrie

It's about fifteen hundred miles to California

They'll get there Friday if they leave tonight

She sneaks out at three thirty in the morning

Leaves a note so she won't see her daddy cry

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 waiting

The whole town will call them crazy but they gotta go

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

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

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

Last thing they need is another mouth to feed but they want one

They're just kids themselves but that's gonna change in nine more months

She wakes him up at three thirty in the morning

Ready or not their new life's gonna start

Seven pounds and eighteen inches

The doctor lays that new baby's head right on her heart

When you're young and in love yeah

You might do some things that don't seem all that smart

Thank God for those eighteen inches

The distance it is from your head to your heart yeah yeah yeah
