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
