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
