 🎶Let’s sing along with the lyrics!🎤

I was out with the boys, catchin’ up at a neon lightDidn’t know ’til we walked in, it was karaoke nightShe was in a circle of girls, chasin’ a shot with a limeShe was laughin’, they were darin’ her to get on the micOne of ’em walked up and turned in her nameNext thing I knew, man, she was up on the stage, singin’
“Heads Carolina, tails California”Maybe she’d fall for a boy from South GeorgiaShe’s got the bar in the palm of her handAnd she’s a ’90s country fan like I amHey, I got a Chevy, she can flip a quarterI’d drive her anywhere from here to CaliforniaWhen this song is over, I gotta find her‘Cause she had me at “Heads Carolina”
Yeah, she knew every word by heart, didn’t need no screen, noI was raisin’ my glass up for her, I saw her smilin’ at me, yeahShe had me down in the front by the end of verse twoLike there wasn’t no-one else in the room, we were singin’
“Heads Carolina, tails California”Maybe she’d fall for a boy from South GeorgiaShe’s got the bar in the palm of her handAnd she’s a ’90s country fan like I amHey, I got a Chevy, she can flip a quarterI’d drive her anywhere from here to CaliforniaWhen this song is over, I gotta find her‘Cause she had me at “Heads Carolina”
Yeah, I bought her a round, and we talked ’til the lights came onI still see that girl every time I hear that song
“Heads Carolina, tails California”Maybe she’d fall for a boy from South GeorgiaShe’s got the bar in the palm of her handAnd she’s a ’90s country fan like I amHey, I got a Chevy, she can flip a quarterI’d drive her anywhere from here to CaliforniaWhen this song is over, I gotta find her‘Cause she had me at “Heads Carolina”
