Lyrics
Baby, what do you say we just get lost
Leave this one horse town like two rebels without a cause
I’ve got people in Boston, ain’t your daddy still in Des Moines
We can pack up tomorrow, tonight let’s flip a coin
Heads Carolina, tails California
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where it don’t matter, long as we’re goin’
Somewhere together, I got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
We can throw what we own in the back of a U-Haul van
Couple of modern day Moses’ searchin’ for the promised land
We can go four hundred miles before we stop for gas
We could drive for a day and then we’ll take a look at the map
Oh, heads Carolina, tails California
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where it don’t matter, long as we’re goin’
Somewhere together, I got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
We’re gonna get out of here if we gotta ride a Greyhound bus
Boy, we’re bound to outrun the bad luck that’s tailin’ us
Oh, heads Carolina, tails California
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
Where it don’t matter, long as we’re goin’
Somewhere together, I got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
Oh California, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
Carolina
California
