Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coupe de Ville
She's buckled up on navy
[Verse 2]
She don't care what her mama says
No, she's gonna have my baby
I'm taking all I have to take
'Cause taking's gonna shape me
[Verse 3]
People call us renegades 'cause we like living crazy
We like taking on the town 'cause people's getting lazy
[Verse 4]
I don't care what nobody says
No, I'm gonna be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other
[Verse 5]
And the doctor seems to say he don't know
Where we're gonna go
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
[Verse 6]
People call us renegades 'cause we like living crazy
We like taking on this town 'cause people's getting lazy
[Verse 7]
I don't care what nobody says
No, I'm gonna be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk
But I love her like no other
[Verse 8]
And her daddy seems to say he don't know
Where we're gonna go
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go
[Verse 9]
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna
[Verse 10]
People call us renegades
We like taking on this town
[Verse 11]
I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coupe de Ville
She's buckled up on navy
[Verse 12]
She don't care what her mama says
No, she's gonna have my baby
I'm taking all I have to take
'Cause taking's gonna shape me
