He Would Be Sixteen Lyrics

    (jill colucci/charlie black/austin roberts)
    (track 5 - time 3:46)

    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
