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 lets 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

We can load what we own in the back of a U-Haul van
Couple 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]

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 tailing us

[chorus]

Oh, California
Oh, oh, oh yeah Carolina
California
