Karaoké Somebody's Daughter Tenille Townes

I drive home the same way

Two left turns off the interstate

And she's always standin' at the stoplight on Eighteenth 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 lookin' at me

Bet she was somebody's best friend laughin'

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 wonderin' 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 laughin'

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

Oh and I'll 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 drivin' by and she's the one on the corner of Eighteenth Street

Bet she was somebody's best friend

Back when she was somebody's sister

Bet she was somebody's first kiss

Oh dancin' 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

Somebody's daughter

She's somebody's daughter
