“Babies Makin' Babies” is the twelfth song on Miranda Lambert’s fifth album, Platinum.
Lyrically, it talks about the struggles of a young couple who didn’t use birth control and ended up with a young son/daughter. Although the kids are only 21 (still babies in the POV of their parents), they are al...
[Verse 1]
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 rolling rink
In the backseat brings
[Chorus]
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 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
[Verse 2]
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 christen
The best thing that could have happened by mistake
[Chorus]
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 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
[Bridge]
Well, it's a tried and true equation
Maintains a small town population
That turns us all into a family
[Chorus]
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 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
[Outro]
Yes, it's always in the water
Babies makin babies
