It Takes a Man

She locked her fingers and bowed her head
She said I'm late, and I'm really scared
Now you can go, but I hope you stay
I'm gonna keep it, either way

In my daddy's el camino
In her driveway in the rain
Staring through that windshield
I could see my future change
And my heart hit like a hammer
And my thoughts were running wild
Any fool can make a baby
But it takes a man, to raise a child

I laid my head, down on the wheel
She said I know, I know, it don't seem real
She closed her eyes, but the tears flowed through
She said don't hate me, for loving you

In my daddy's el camino
In her driveway in the rain
Staring through that windshield
I could see my future change
And my heart hit like a hammer
And my thoughts were running wild
Any fool can make a baby
But it takes a man, to raise a child

Oh I could not reassure her
I couldn't say what I had planned
Couldn't put three words together
So I just took her hand

In my daddy's el camino
In her driveway in the rain
Staring through the windshield
I could see my future change
And my heart hit like a hammer
And my thoughts were running wild
Any fool can make a baby
But it takes a man, to raise a child
