Lauren Alaina - Eighteen Inches [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1:]
It’s about fifteen hundred miles
To California
They’ll get there Friday
If they leave tonight

She sneaks out at 3:30 in the morning
Leaves a note
So she won’t see her daddy cry

He cuts the engine
When he coasts in the driveway
She slides in
And gives him one kiss for the road

No friends and no family
No job out there waiting
The whole town will call them crazy
But they gotta go

[Chorus:]
Cause when you’re young and in love, yeah
You might do some things
That don’t seem all that smart

Cause there ain’t no greater distance
Than the eighteen inches
From your head to your heart, yeah

[Verse 2:]
They can barely make rent on a rundown apartment
She’s waiting tables
And he’s a valet

They’re behind on the bills
And the car’s barely running
But he buys a ring
With the tips that he’s saved

[Repeat Chorus:]

[Verse 3:]
Last thing they need
Is another mouth to feed
But they want one
They’re just kids themselves
But that’s gonna change in nine more months

She wakes him up at 3:30 in the morning
Ready or not
Their new life’s gonna start

Seven pounds and eighteen inches
The doctor lays that
New baby’s head right on her heart

[Chorus:]
When you’re young and in love, yeah
You might do some things
That don’t seem all that smart

But thank God for those eighteen inches
The distance it is
From your head to your heart
Yeah, yeah, yeah
