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

She don't care what her momma says
No she gonna have my baby
Taking all that I have to take
This takings gonna shake me

People call us renegades
'Cause we like living crazy
We like takin on the town
Cause people's getting lazy

I don't care what nobody says
No I'm gonna be her lover
Always mad and you's a drunk
But I love her like no other

And in the dark we say we 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 were gonna go

People call us renegades
Cause we like living crazy
We like takin on the town
'Cause people's getting lazy

I don't care what nobody says
No I'm gonna be her lover
Always mad and you's a drunk
But I love her like no other

And her daddy he says 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
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go

People call us renegades
We like takin on this town

I don't care what nobody says
We're gonna have a baby
Takin off in a Coupe de Ville
She's buckled up on navy

She don't care what her momma says
No she gonna have my baby
I'm takin' all I have to take
This takings gonna shape me

    My Interpretation:Google image search the logo for 'sailor jerry navy rum'.

    That sailor wench [favorite drink/drunken state] is the last thing you would expect that could shape up those crazy rebels but there she is steering them steady on. From conception to happy whoknowswhere.

    General Comment:love this song, one of my fave KOL tracks. Just a guess, but is it "buckled up on AB" as in she's strapped into a seat with an airbag? kinda like he's made sure the love of his life strapped in and safe.

    General Comment:From an EW.com interview with Caleb

    That song started with the melody and it started chugging along, then the first thing that came into my head was, ''I don't care what nobody says, we're going to have a baby.'' Everyone just looked at me in the rehearsal room and I threw my hands in the air and said, ''I don't know what to say — it just came out.'' I think the reason I talk about having a baby is because of my fear of an actual relationship. I can actually see myself having a kid before I can see myself getting married, and I know that goes against everything we were raised to believe, but the whole marriage thing...I don't know if it really works these days, which is unfortunate. It just seems divorce is inevitable. So for me talking about having a baby in that song, it's like the glue that might keep things together, or at least an excuse to make it last a little longer

    Song Meaning:I think the lyrics are pretty obvious (and fantastic). But i also think there's a deeper meaning in the actual tune. The song begins with a steady base. Nothing special. Then, all of a sudden, these high guitar picks jump in. It's almost like the base is all his buddies and family saying "what a stupid thing to do," and he starts agreeing with them. Then he realizes he's gonna have this girl to himself forever and actually have a child with her. He sees the happiness of the situation. The joy he feels is the high guitar picks. Think about it.

    General Comment:This is a very hot song.
    hot guy + baby = awesome!
    The first time I heard this was
    when they played in England.
    I heard it live last week again,
    now it's on my playlist and I love
    it even more! Fav. part is the O's
    and the whoa's.It's so sweet and
    irresponsible. I'm too afraid to be
    that irresponsible but this song helps
    me live it vicariously.
    ----Caleb is so fine!!!(esp. his EYES)
    ----Lucky girl he (thoeretically) "knocked up"
