It takes a man

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

(Chorus)
In my daddy's El Camino,
in her driveway in the rain,
starrin' through that windshield I could see my future change,
and my heart held like a hammer,
and my thoughts were runnin' 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 lovin' you,

(Chorus)
In my daddy's El Camino,
in her driveway in the rain,
starrin' through that windshield I could see my future change,
and my heart held like a hammer,
and my thoughts were runnin' 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 planed,
couldn't put three words together,
so I just, took her hand,

(Chorus)
In my daddy's El Camino,
in her driveway in the rain,
starrin' through that windshield I could see my future change,
and my heart held like a hammer,
and my thoughts were runnin' wild,
any fool can make a baby, but it takes a man, to raise a child.
