Miranda Lambert Babies Makin' Babies lyrics

Two kids from Tacoma in a '72 Nova
No pill and barely old enough to drink
Learned the ropes and tested science
Started Pentecostal riots in just five minutes behind the roller rink
In the backseat brings

The American dream on a shoestring
First you grow it, then you show it
Give a good push just like a Brady
Say you'll love them 'till you're eighty
Too soon to be a mother and father
But too late for the Alma Mater
Yeah, it's always in the water, babies makin' babies

Between diplomas and the diapers
They become couch quarter finders
Savin' up for a maytag microwave
Oh, but all has been forgiven on the day the water christened
The best thing that could've happened by mistake

The American dream on a shoestring
First you grow it, then you show it

Give a good push just like a Brady
Say you'll love 'em until you're eighty
Too soon to be a mother and father
But too late for the Alma Mater
Yeah, it's always in the water, babies makin' babies

Well it's a tried and true equation
Maintains a small town population
And turns us all into a family

The American dream on a shoestring
First you grow it, then you show it
Give a good push just like a Brady
Say you'll love them 'till you're eighty
Too soon to be a mother and father
But too late for the Alma Mater
Yeah, it's always in the water, babies makin' babies
Yes, it's always in the water, babies makin' babies
