Take a left here, boy, take it slow
Dont get distracted by that radio
I just rolled my eyes and I said, Daddy, I know
Im 15, I aint green like some ol ten year old
What I wouldnt give to be 16, wild and free
Cruisin up and down Main in my F-150
Roll the windows down, bass too loud from this burnt CD
Ill be right where I wanna be when Im 16, 16, yeah
16
Now that I can drive, finally feel alive, but I got this curfew
Sneakin in late, smellin like my girlfriends perfume
People talkin bout college and knowledge and thats alright
But all Im thinkin about is an unsupervised Saturday night
What I wouldnt give to be 18, wild and free
Buzzin off a can of the Grizzly wintergreen
Lookin old enough to pull off this fake ID
Ill be right where I wanna be when Im 18, 18, yeah
18, yeah
Im old enough to smoke
Im 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 thats right
But my friends are off to Vegas, and theyre leaving me behind
What I wouldnt give to be 21, 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
Ill be right where I wanna be when Im 21, 21
Woah, when Im 21
Yeah, when Im 21, itll be alright
Yeah, itll be alright, when Im 21
Now Im 25 and Im drinking wine with my wife at home
Got a couple of 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 16
