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 Maine in my F-150
Roll the windows down, bass too loud from this burned CD
I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm sixteen, sixteen
Now that I can drive, finally feel alive, but I got this curfew
Sneakin' in late, smellin' like my girlfriend's perfume
People talkin' about college and knowledge and that's alright
But all I'm thinkin' about 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, yeah
Eighteen, yeah
I'm old enough to smoke, I'm old enough to vote
But they turn me away when I go to the Cotton Eye 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
And we sit around and we laugh about how we used to be
When all we cared about was turnin' sixteen
