Across the county line, in a cheap motel
Lyin' next to her, there's a new day wakin'
Never felt this sure of anything before
No question in his mind about the chance he's takin'

Don't know where they're goin' but they know just what they're after
In each other's arms they always seem to find their way
To love and laughter

First mornin' light on her new wedding band
She's talkin' on the phone, sayin' “Momma I'll miss you”
They can't help but laugh as momma starts to shout
She covers up the phone and reaches to kiss him

Momma can't remember how it feels
When you can live
On love and laughter

He's struttin' like a hero, she looks just like a dream
There's nothin' in their suitcase, but those two have everything they need
Love and laughter, love and laughter

She takes a highway map, covers up her eyes
Points to a little town and says “Let's go there”
Anywhere at all will be their honeymoon
Under big city lights or in the middle of nowhere

Don't know where they're goin' but they know just what they're after
In each other's arms they always seem to find their way
To love and laughter, love and laughter
