Carry On

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 2 a.m. song

It was two kids with a beat up Nova

Singing

Come carry on

Come carry on

'Til the nights 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 2 kids with a beat up nova,

And a dream, and a two A.M. song

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 hearts were their own

Toughest that the world has ever known
