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

Starin' through that windshield

I could see my future change.

And my heart hit 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".

In my daddy's el camino

In her driveway in the rain

Starin' through that windshield

I could see my future change.

And my heart hit 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.

In my daddy's el camino

In her driveway in the rain

Starin' through that windshield

I could see my future change.

And my heart hit like a hammer

And my thoughts were runnin' wild

Any fool can make a baby

But it takes a man to raise a child.
