Itâs about fifteen hundred miles to California,
Theyâll get there Friday if they leave tonight,
She sneaks out at three thirty in the morning,
Leaves a note so she wonât 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 youâre young and in love, yeah,
You might do some things that donât seem all that smart,
Cause there ainât no greater distance
Than the eighteen inches from your head to your heart, yeah.
They can barely make rent on a rundown apartment,
Sheâs waiting tables and heâs a valet,
Theyâre behind on the bills and the carâs barely running,
But he buys a ring with the tips that heâs saved.
When youâre young and in love, yeah,
You might do some things that donât seem all that smart,
Cause there ainât no greater distance
Than the eighteen inches from your head to your heart.
Last thing they need is another mouth to feed, but they wonât call,
Theyâre just kids themselves but thatâs gonna change in nine more months,
She wakes him up at three thirty in the morning,
Ready or not their new lifeâs gonna start,
Seven pounds and eighteen inches,
The doctor lays that new babyâs head right on her heart.
When youâre young and in love, yeah,
You might do some things that donât seem all that smart,
But thank God for those eighteen inches,
The distance it is from your head to your heart, yeah, yeah, yeah.
