I drive home the same way, two left turns off the interstate
And she's always standing at the stoplight
On 18th StreetShe could be a Sarah, she could be an Emily, an Olivia, maybe Cassidy
With the shaky hands on the cardboard sign
And she's looking at meBet 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 herShe's somebody's daughter
Somebody's daughter
Somebody's daughter
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 going to ask what she wants to be
Or why we're both stuck here at the mercy of geography
And whether it shines or rainsBet 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
Oh and I'll wonder how she felt when no one caught her
She's somebody's daughterSomebody'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 StreetBet 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 daughterShe's somebody's daughter
