Somebody's Daughter Tab by Tenille Townes

I drive home the same way

Two left turns off the interstate

And she's always standing

At the stoplight on 18th Street

She could be a Sarah

She could be an Emily

An Olivia, maybe Cassidy

With the shaky hands

On the cardboard sign

And she's lookin' at me

Bet she was somebody's

best friend laughing

Back when she was somebody's sister

Countin' change at the lemonade stand

Probably somebody's high school first kiss

Dancin' in a gym where the kids

all talk about someday plans

Now this light'll turn green

and I'll hand her a couple dollars

And I'll wonder if she got lost

or they forgot her

She's somebody's daughter

Somebody's daughter

Somebody's daughter

Did she give up wondering

where the cars all go?

And can she even tell

that I don't know what to say?

So I just nod my head and wave

Well, no one's gonna ask

what she wants to be

Or why we're both stuck here

at the mercy of geography

And whether it shines or rains

Bet she was somebody's

best friend laughing

Back when she was somebody's sister

Countin' change at the lemonade stand

Probably somebody's high school first kiss

Dancin' in a gym where the kids

all talk about someday plans

Now this light'll turn green

and I'll hand her a couple dollars

And I'll wonder if she got lost

or they forgot her

She's somebody's daughter

Somebody's daughter

Somebody's daughter

Oh, I don't know the reasons why

I'm the one who's driving by

And she's the one on the corner of 18th Street

Bet she was somebody's

best friend

Back when she was somebody's

sister

Bet she was somebody's first kiss

Oh, Dancing in a gym where the kids

all talk about someday, someday

Now this light'll turn green

and I'll hand her a couple dollars

And I'll wonder if she got lost

or they forgot her

She's somebody's daugh-

ter

She's somebody's daughter
