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 two a.m. song
It was two kids with a beat up Nova singing come carry on

Come carry on 'till the night's 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 two kids with a beat up Nova, and a dream, and a two A.M. song

[Chorus]
