She was cold as ice on a Minnesota night
So I gave her my cigarettes to burn
She said I was born to go straight to hell
I said tell me something I haven't heard

We packed up the car and we headed towards the west
Where Tinseltown told me to come
She made me dress in my Sunday best
And I held her as she came undone

Hallelujah no
Hallelujah no

9 weeks later we had 9 reasons why
California couldn't hold us forever
So we went to the church and prayed our souls goodbye
Where the priest said for worse or for better

Hallelujah no
Hallelujah no

We drove all night long
Like someone was still on our side
And we sang our bravery songs
And the world was ours tonight
And I think we're gonna make it

We pulled up close to that first foot of snow
Where mom and dad were waiting in the yard
They looked at us with their arms all crossed
And said we knew you wouldn't get very far

Call it rebellion or the act of youth
But we got back inside of the car
She lit up her smoke, she pulled her aviators down
And said just drive baby drive drive drive

And we drove all night long
Like someone was still on our side
And we sang our bravery songs
And the world was ours tonight

And we drove all night long
Like someone was still on our side
And we sang our bravery songs
And the world was ours tonight
And I think we're gonna make it

Hallelujah no
Hallelujah no
Hallelujah no
Hallelujah no
