Big city miles stretching out into the terminal horizon
Don`t you know we had to get away?
It was two kids with a beat up Nova,
and a dream and a two a.m. song
It was two kids with a beat up Nova singing come carry on
Come carry on `till the night`s all gone
come carry on come right where we belong
The impossible girl lit a cigarette
and said "I don`t give a damn if we never come home"
and I turned to her in the old starlight
and a tender amazement swallowed up the night
We could walk along be forever strong
drive into the night, and the right, and the wrong
It was two kids with a beat up Nova, and a dream, and a two A.M. song
Chorus
There ain`t no dream like the one that`s real
Ashby to Eighty
Eighty to the Bridge
Bridge down to One
Route One carry on
We ate the night up and we shot the big coast
`cause the shoreline makes a heart open like a rose
She found a song on the radio
and it wiped all the blood off my halo
It was two kids, whose heart were their own
Toughest the world has ever known
Chorus
