Somebody’s Daugher (Apple Music Sessions) Lyrics by Tenille Townes
I drive home the same way
Two left turns off the interstate
And she’s always standing at the stop light on 18th Street
She could be a Sarah, she could be an Emily
An Olivia, maybe Cassidy
With her shaky hands on a cardboard sign and she’s looking at me
Bet she was somebody’s best friend, laughing way 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
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, yeah
Bet she was somebody’s best friend, laughing, oh, 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
And now this light’ll turn green and I’ll hand her a couple dollars
Oh, and I wonder how she fell and no one caught her
She’s somebody’s daughter
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, yeah
Bet she was somebody’s best friend, oh, back when
She was somebody’s sister, yeah
Bet she was somebody’s first kiss
Oh, dancing in a gym where the kids all talk about someday, someday
Bet she was somebody’s best friend, laughing way 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, someday
And now this light’ll turn green and I’ll hand her a couple dollars
Oh, and I wonder if she got lost and they forgot her
Somebody’s daughter, yeah, yeah
She’s somebody’s daugther
