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
(CHORUS)
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
(CHORUS)
