Lyrics

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
