Chris Young - 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 heart hit like a hammer
And my thoughts were running wild
Any fool can make a baby
But it take s 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 heart hit like a hammer
And my thoughts were running wild
Any fool can make a baby
But it take s 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 that windshield
I could see my future change
And heart hit like a hammer
And my thoughts were running wild
Any fool can make a baby
But it take s a man to raise a child

Sorry about the wrong album picture being on the video, but I made this video before I knew he had a new album coming out and I just thought it was a good picture to go with this really great song.

Amen! People don't realize the lasting damage done to a child who is raised without a daddy. Especially when they know he walked out.

Some guys never get it, Thank God for the ones that do, and the ones that step up when they dont have to. From a single mom of a beautiful 15 month old girl, working 50 hours and going to school two nights a week. I know God can fill any void for my daughter....and heal my pain.

This hit home real hard for me. Reality sucks, I have two kids & I've been a single mom for two years now. That's the difference between a boy & a man! I was young when I got preg & just graduating high school but I finished school & take care of my kids so I'm all the need. Ill always be by their side! <3

[JDBGURL1212]

This is so true, some boys just run away and leave the girl with the child to raise it by herself...

@kenserman09 Man, if your paying, I'd demand visitation. Good luck

[WilliamsErika1989]

@MrJakers1066 I'm sure she appreciates the help. And he, as the sperm donar, should be grateful there is a MAN who is taking care of someone elses child. Sorry that she did that to you, but I applaud you for being there for her. =]

I know this song as being by Aaron Lines, so I was curious when Chris Young came up for it too... certainly glad I listened.
