Yesterday we were comin' of age, everything brand-new
Just a boy and 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 four-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 nothin' to prove
Jagger fifths in our grocery list, and they're laced with some honey dews
New shoes and backpacks for school, ain't we livin' the dream?
We were breakin' the rules, now we're makin' 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 four-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 rock star
A house in the hills, everything but bills
Champaign and caviar
Photo shoots, first class flights
We'd sleep all day and rage all night
Just you and I livin' the life, yeah
We got no Oscar, we got no Grammy
But we got us friends and family
The wheels keep spinnin' just a lovin' and a livin'
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 four-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 spinnin' just a lovin' and a livin'
And it's better than it was before
