We just left the bandstand Carolina, 4 am Packed and headed southward I start the car again The crickets break the silence On the foggy road back home Tired and counting street lamps Tired, but not alone CH: The engines hot and the sun is rising Were carving memories in the land And even though were improvising Its nice to know we're making plans Standing in the check out No scotch and steak tonight Weve got enough for home made chicken Lemonade and candlelight Well wake up in the morning Collect our nickels and our dimes Fill up to a quarter tank Leave our worried walkin blues behind Bridge: Rubbing elbows with the rich and well-behaved in our fine salvation army clothes We dont have a dollar to spare but the good thing is that no one knows. CH: The engines hot and the sun is rising Were carving memories in the land And even though were improvising Its nice to know we're making plans It's nice to know we're making plans
