Lauren Alaina - Eighteen Inches lyrics
[Lauren Alaina - Eighteen Inches lyrics]
It’s about fifteen hundred
Miles to California
They’ll get there Friday if
They leave tonight
She sneaks out at 3: 30 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, 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 want one
They’re just kids themselves
But that’s gonna change in nine more months
She wakes him up at 3: 30 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
But thank God for those eighteen inches
The distance it is from your
Head to your heart yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Miles to California
They’ll get there Friday if
They leave tonight
She sneaks out at 3: 30 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, 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
