Sweet 16

Yesterday, we were coming of age
Everything brand new
Just a boy and a girl
Us against the world
We didn't have a thing to lose
Blue jeans, Friday night lights
And in the blink of an eye
We came alive as our innocence died
Underneath the September sky

And now sweet 16's 34
We traded in a drop top hot rod Chevy
For a 4-door Ford
And those sweet memories are forevermore
A lot of things changed but I love it just the same
Or even more than I did before

Rat races and places to be turned to nothing to prove
Jager fifths are now grocery lists
And their laced with some honey dos
New shoes and backpacks for school, ain't we livin' the dream?
We were breaking the rules, now we're making the rules
And we're somewhere in between

Somewhere between a dream and a compromise
Every day reminds me how time flies

And now sweet 16's 34
We traded in a drop top hot rod Chevy
For a 4-door Ford
And those sweet memories are forevermore
A lot of things changed but I love it just the same
Or even more than I did before

You were gonna be an actress
I was gonna be a big rockstar
House on the hill, everything but bills
Champagne and caviar
Photoshoots, first class flights
We'd sleep all day, and rage all night
Just you and I, living the life
Yeah

We got no Oscar, we got no Grammy
But we got us, friends, and family
The wheels keep spinning, just a loving and a living
And it's better than it was before

And now sweet 16's 34
We traded in a drop top hot rod Chevy
For a 4-door Ford
And those sweet memories are forevermore
A lot of things changed but I love it just the same
Or even more than I did before

And now sweet 16's 34
The wheels keep spinning, just a loving and a living
And it's better than it was before
