[Verse 1]
She had on her mama's dress
It was quilted, white, and freshly pressed
She looked like the Queen of Appalachia
We threw everything we had
In the back of my daddy’s Cadillac
And dared the whole world to catch us

Got a full tank of gas and a bottle of booze
A pocket full of cash, and nothin' to lose

[Verse 2]
As we pulled out of her daddy's place
A smile crept 'cross her face
She said, "Are we really gonna do this?"
That's when we both realized
We were leavin' all the bad behind
And we started shoutin' broken "Hallelujah!"s

Now come on, baby, take my hand
'Cause we're headin' on to the promised land

[Chorus]
So take it easy, babe
On this heart of mine
If we play our cards right, baby, we just might make it outta here alive
