作曲：Kelley Lovelace/Ashley Gorley/Carrie Underwood

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

Just kids themselves but that's all to change

in nine more months

She wakes him up

at three thirty in the morning

Ready or not their new life's going to 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

But thank God for those eighteen inches

The distance it is from your head to your heart

yeah yeah yeah
