Eighteen

15, long gone, got a train to leave for good

Hoping everything be fine

16, still gone, mama's worried that she should be

Hoping her baby's still alive, mm-yeah

But her daughter is still nowhere to be found

I'd take a guess and say she's hurt too many times, yeah

Hurt of seeing daddy living a lie

Hurt 'cause all she ever wanted was comfort

'Cause now she's 18, and she's finally found love

She does what she wanna with who she wanna

Yeah, she's 18 and she's free from her cross

She goes where she wanna, she's who she wanna be

Cut all the strings and left all the heavy weight on her chest

And it was for the best, I heard she's doing better now

She's 18 and she's finally found love

She does what she wanna with who she wanna, oh

Now she's 18 and she's finally found love

She does what she wanna with who she wanna, oh

She dips a toe in the water, she never jumps right in

You never know if you caught her

She might be gone in a minute, oh, yeah

One advice never cross her, dangerous just a little

She goes where she wanna with who she wanna, oh

I am following, she is nowhere to be found

I'd take a guess, say she's been hurt too many times, yeah

Lived a life then changed it overnight

Searching for a place where they can find a little comfort

'Cause now she's 18, and she's finally found love

She does what she wanna with who she wanna

Yeah, she's 18 and she's free from her cross

She goes where she wanna, she's who she wanna be

Cut all the strings and left all the heavy weight on her chest

And it was for the best, I heard she's doing better now

She's 18 and she's finally found love

She does what she wanna with who she wanna, oh

'Cause now she's 18, and she's finally found love

She does what she wanna with who she wanna

Yeah, she's 18 and she's free from her cross

She goes where she wanna, she's who she wanna be
