[Verse 1]
FShe gets in her cCar, OFctober Friday Cnight.
GHome from wFork down Am31, past Franklin HigEmh.
FShe can see the stadium lCights, Fshe can hear the Cband.
GA thousand craCzy hiGgh school kAmids screamin' in the stEmands.
FQuarterback and homecoming quCeen,
AmLove too young to know what it Gmeans.
GShe goes baCck in tGime, oh,C in her GmindAm, it's like a drEmeam
[Chorus]
FHe would Gbe sixteCen,
FThe son she nevGer kCnew.
FIt hurt so mGuch to Amgive him uFp,
CBut what else could she Gdo?
FHe would bGe sixtCeen.
[Verse 2]
FA child should have a hCome, she Fknows her folks were Cright
She Gnever hCeard the cGouple's nAmame, just that they were nicEme.
FShe wonders if he's taCller than his faFther Cwas.
GDoes he drCive a cGar by nAmow, has he been in loveEm?
FShe shakes back to reaClity, she knows
AmThings turn out the way they should bGe.
GBut she jCust can't hGelp but aCsk herseGlf, Am"Does he know aboutEm me?"?
[Chorus]

FIt hurt so mGuch to gAmive him uFp,
But wChat else could she dGo?
FHe would Gbe sixteCen.
FShe never even gGot to hoCld him,
FAnd nights like thiGs it huAmrts to misFs
CThe son she's never sGeen.
FHe would bGe sixteeAmn,
FHe would bGe sixtCeen.
