Heads Carolina, Tails California
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baby, what do you say we just get lost
Leave this one horse town like two rebels without a cause
I've got people in Boston, ain't your daddy still in DesMoines?
We can pack up tomorrow - tonight lets flip a coin
Heads Carolina, tails California
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where it don't matter as long as we're going
Somewhere together, I've got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
We can throw what we own in the back of a U-Haul van
Couple modern day Moses, searching for the Promised Land
We can go four hundred miles before we stop for gas
We can drive for a day, and then we'll take a look at the map
Heads Carolina, tails California
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where it don't matter as long as we're going
Somewhere together, I've got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
We're gonna get outta here if we gotta ride a greyhound bus
We're bound to out run the bad luck that's trailing us
Heads Carolina, tails California
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where it don't matter as long as we're going
Somewhere together, I've got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
