Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Baby, what do you say we just get lost
Leave this one horse town like two rebels without a cause
I got people in Boston, ain't your daddy still in Des Moines?
We can pack up tomorrow, tonight let's flip a coin
[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'
Somewhere together, I've got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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've got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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've got a quarter
Heads Carolina, tails California
Oh, California
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, yeah
Carolina
California
