Leave this one horse town like two rebels without a cause

We can pack up tomorrow, tonight let's flip a coin

Chorus:
E               B
Heads Carolina, tails California
A                  B
Somewhere greener, somewhere warmer
E                    B
Up in the mountains, down by the ocean
A                         B
Where, it don't matter as long as we're going
E                   B
Somewhere together, I've got a quarter
A               B
Heads Carolina, tails California

Couple of modern day Moses' searching for the promised land
       E               B                        A  B
We can go four hundred miles before we stop for gas
       E               B                                 A  B
We can drive for a day and then we'll take a look at the map

Where, it don't matter as long as we're going
