Eighteen Inches 歌詞
Eighteen Inches - American Country Hits
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
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 won't call
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
