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
