me and my baby on a February holiday, 'cause we got the news. 500 miles but we're gonna make it all the way. we got nothing to lose. been ten years waiting, but it's better late than never we've been told before. we can't wait one minute more. oh me and my baby driving down, to a hilly seaside town in the rainfall. oh me and my baby stand in line, you never seen a sight so fine as the love that's gonna shine at city hall. me and my baby been through a lot of good and bad. learned to kiss the sky, made our mamas cry. seen a lot of friends, after giving it all they had, lay down and die. ten years into it, here's our window at the Vegas drive-thru chapel. ain't too much for 'em all to handle. oh me and my baby driving down. outside they're handing out donuts and pizza pies, for the folks in pairs in their folding chairs. my baby's looking so damn pretty with those anxious eyes, rain-speckled hair. and my ring to wear. ten years waiting for this moment of fate, when we say the words and sign our names. if they take it away again someday, this beautiful thing won't change. oh me and my baby driving down.
