Sixteen

[Verse 1] "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 ol' ten year old" [Chorus 1] What I wouldn't give to be sixteen, wild and free Cruisin' up and down Main in my F-150 Roll the windows down, bass too loud from this burnt CD I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm sixteen, sixteen, yeah Sixteen [Verse 2] Now that I can drive, finally feel alive, but I got this curfew Sneakin' in late, smelling like my girlfriend's perfume People talkin' 'bout college and knowledge and that's alright But all I'm thinkin' 'bout is an unsupervised Saturday night [Chorus 2] 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, yeah [Bridge] 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 [Chorus 3] 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 Woah, 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 [Outro] 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 And we sit around, and we laugh about how we used to be When all we cared about was turning sixteen
