Sixteen

Hmm

Take a left here, boy

Take it slow

Don't get distracted by that radio

I just rolled my eyes and I said

"Daddy, I know"

"I'm fifteen, I ain't green like some old ten year old"

What I wouldn't give to be sixteen, wild and free

Cruisin' up and down Main in my F150

Roll the windows down, bass too loud from this burnt CD

I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm sixteen, sixteen

Sixteen

Now that I can drive, finally feelin' alive, but I got this curfew

Sneakin' in late smellin' like my girlfriend's perfume

People talkin' 'bout college and knowledge and that's all right

But all I'm thinkin' 'bout is an unsupervised Saturday night

What I wouldn't give to be eighteen, wild and free

Buzzin' off a can of that Grizzly Wintergreen

Lookin' old enough to pull off this fake ID

I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm eighteen, eighteen

Eighteen

I'm old enough to smoke, I'm old enough to vote

But they turn me away when I go to the Cotton-Eyed Joe

They say the grass is always greener, and I believe that's right

But my friends are off to Vegas and they're leavin' me behind

What I wouldn't give to be twenty one, wild and free

Open up a cold one and drink it legally

Chase a bunch of girls, go see the world, let my wild streak run

I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm twenty one, twenty one

Oh, when I'm twenty one

Yeah, when I'm twenty one

It'll be alright

Yeah, it'll all be alright when I'm twenty one

Now I'm twenty five and I'm drinkin' wine with my wife at home

Got a couple dogs and a couple songs on the radio

Yeah, we sit around and we laugh about how we used to be

When all we cared about was turning sixteen
