Lyrics
[Intro]
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've got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
[Verse 1]
I was out with the boys, catchin' up in a neon light
Didn't know till we walked in, it was karaoke night
She was in a circle of girls, chasin' a shot with a lime
She was laughin', they were darin' her to get on the mic
One of 'em walked up and turned in her name
Next thing I knew, man, she was up on the stage, singin'
[Chorus]
Heads Carolina, tails California
Maybe she'd fall for a boy from South Georgia
She's got the bar in the palm of her hand
And she's a '90s country fan like I am
Hey, I got a Chevy, she can flip a quarter
I'd drive her anywhere from here to California
When this song is over, I gotta find her
'Cause she had me at "Heads Carolina"
[Bridge]
That's right
Heads Carolina, tails California
[Verse 2]
Yeah, she knew every word by heart, didn't need no screen, no
I was raisin' my glass up for her, and saw her smilin' at me, yeah
She had me down in the front by the end of verse two
Like there wasn't no one else in the room, we were singin'
[Chorus]
"Heads Carolina, tails California"
Maybe she'd fall for a boy from South Georgia
She's got the bar in the palm of her hand
And she's a '90s country fan like I am
Hey, I got a Chevy, she can flip a quarter
I'd drive her anywhere from here to California
When this song is over, I gotta find her
'Cause she had me at "Heads Carolina"
[Bridge]
Yes, she did
[Verse 3]
Yeah, I bought her a round and we talked till the lights came on
Talked till the lights came on
I still see that girl every time I hear that song
[PreChorus]
Baby, what do you say we just get lost?
Leave this one-horse town like two rebels without a cause
[Chorus]
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'
Yeah, I got a Chevy, she can flip a quarter
I'd drive her anywhere from here to California
When this song is over, I gotta find her
'Cause she had me at "Heads Carolina"
[Outro]
Yeah, she had me at "Heads Carolina"
California
