Sixteen Lyrics By Thomas Rhett

    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

    what i wouldn’t give to be sixteen wild and free
    cruisin’ up and down main in my f50
    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

    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

    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

    i’m old enough to smoke i’m old enough to vote
    but they turn me away when i go to the cottoneyed 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
    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

    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
