Eighteen inches
Its about fifteen hundred miles to California
Theyll get their Friday, if they leave tonight
She sneaks out at three thirty in the morning
Leaves a note so she wont 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 em crazy
But they gotta go
Cause when youre young and in love, yeah
You might do some things
That dont seem all that smart
Cause there aint no greater distance
Than the eighteen inches from your head to your heart
They can barely make a rent
On a rundown apartment
Shes waiting tables and hes a valet
Theyre behind on the bills
And the cars barely running
But he buys a ring with the tips that he saved
Cause when youre young and in love, yeah
You might do some things
That dont seem all that smart
Cause there aint 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
Theyre just kids themselves
But thats gonna change in nine more months
She wakes him up at three thirty in the morning
Ready or not their new lifes gonna start
Seven pounds and eighteen inches
The doctor lays that new babys head
Right on her heart
When youre young and in love, yeah
You might do some things
That dont seem all that smart
But thank God for those eighteen inches
The distance it is from your head to your heart
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
