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 too young to know what it means   She goes back in time, oh in her mind it's like a dream      He would be 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 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
