[Intro]
[Verse 1]
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 a Cassidy
With the shaky hands on the cardboard sign
And she s looking at me
[Chorus]
Bet she was somebody s best friend laughing
Back when she was somebody s sister
Counting change at the lemonade stand
Probably somebody s high school first kiss
Dancing 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
[Verse 2]
Well, did she give up wondering where the cars all go?
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
[Chorus]
Bet she was somebody s best friend laughing
Back when she was somebody s sister
Counting change at the lemonade stand
Probably somebody s high school first kiss
Dancing 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 how she felt when no one caught her
She s somebody s daughter
Somebody s daughter
Somebody s daughter
Somebody s daughter
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
Bet she was somebody s best friend
Back when she was somebody s sister
Bet she was somebody s first kiss
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
Oh, and I ll wonder if she got lost or they forgot her
She s somebody s da---ughter
She s somebody s daughter
[Outro]
