She gets in her car October Friday night
|
Home from work down 31 past Franklin High
|
She can see the stadium lights she can hear the band
|
A thousand crazy high school kids screamin' in the stands
|
Quarterback and Homecoming Queen
|
Love to young to know what it means
|
She goes back in time oh in her mind it's like a dream
|
|
He would be would sixteen
|
The son she never knew
|
It hurt so much to give him up
|
But what else could she do
|
He would be sixteen
|
|
A child should have a home she knows her folks were right
|
She never heard the couple's name just that they were nice
|
She wonders if he's taller than his father was
|
Does he drive a car by now has he been in love
|
She shakes back to reality she knows
|
Things turn out the way they should be
|
But she just can help but ask herself does he know about me
|
|
He would be would sixteen
|
The son she never knew
|
It hurt so much to give him up
|
But what else could she do
|
He would be sixteen
|
|
She never even got to hold him
|
And nights like this hurts to miss
|
The son she's never seen
|
He would be sixteen
|
He would be sixteen
|
|

He Would Be Sixteen
