Rhett, Thomas - Sixteen Lyrics






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 F-150
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

Now that I can drive, finally feel alive, but I got this curfew
Sneakin' in late, smelling like my girlfriend's perfume
People talk about 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 the 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

I'm old enough to smoke
I'm 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 that's right
But my friends are off to Vegas, 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 be alright, when I'm twenty one

Now I'm twenty five and I'm drinking wine with my wife at home
Got a couple of dogs and a couple of 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

  6. T.... T....

    I love country

  7. T.... O....

    Song is a COMPLETE RIPOFF of Corey Smith’s song, 21. What a loser.

  8. a.... c....

    It hurts me bad that I don't have women like he does but it happen soon for me

  9. a.... c....

    I'm 23 now and I love this song it kinda puts me in tears

  10. P.... T....

    1:45 That didn’t age too well

  11. A.... F....

    Now they have to change the lyrics to 21 to be able to smoke and chew dip😩

  12. D.... d....

  13. A.... K....

  14. A.... E....

    Songs that didn’t age well

  15. T.... M....

    Love this song

  16. m.... ....

    I turned 16 today ❤️☺️

  17. J.... D....

    Just turned 16 today!

  18. S.... W....

    I’m16

  19. J.... J....

    I am 15 so I can relate how about anyone else

  20. i.... h....

    Now we have to wait until we’re 21 to do anything

  21. S.... W....

    I’m 21

  22. K.... M....

    When people say this ain't country wtf is it then it sure the F isn't hip hop things change but stays the same like the square body Chevy 😂 still country welcome to 2020.

  23. m.... a....

    I’m almost sixteen and don’t want to grow up help

  24. M.... M....

    looking back...i never really lived the lyrics but now I'm getting my drivers permit and I'm in high school and now this is all going by so fast :(((

  25. D.... L....

    21 now for that grizzly wintergreen

  26. R.... S....

    best part was sneakin in late smelling like my girlfriend perfume

  27. V.... F....

    here in 2020 and the looks like people ain't buying that grizzly wintergreen till their 21 now😂

    V.... F....

    Wonder if a 15 year old could pull one off

    V.... F....

    @Arron Kilgore if they have a beard then maybe😂

    V.... F....

    Arron Kilgore doubt it I got one taken away when I was 18 and I’m 6’1 and had a beard

    V.... F....

    HawkeyeFan4ever 16 lmao I’m 6 1 180 but I don’t got a beard and I don’t feel like growing one out wym they took it away what happen

    V.... F....

    Arron Kilgore so when they take a fake ID they cut it it up so it can’t be used

  28. w.... ....

    My takeaway: Don't wish your time away waiting for the next big thing. The real joys in life come from spending time with the people that mean the most to you. Makes me regret counting down the days till high school was over because I would kill to go back and do it all over again. Happiness is a journey, not a destination.

  29. S.... 6....

    When I'm sixteen, I can't do anything that I want too. I don't even have an education!!



    P.S. where the hell do you get a fake ID these days? I'm asking for a friend...😁

  39. D.... C....

    Lol Thomas Rhett is basically describing my life right now , when I was 15 I so couldn’t wait to be 16 then after that I couldn’t wait to be 18 , I’m currently 17 and I’m gonna be 18 in about a month and I can’t wait ! But kids don’t wish you’re life away ,enjoy being a minor while you can

  61. P.... X....

    I wish this song was longer.
    It is great.

  62. N.... ....

    I just bought a truck, a 75 f150, and I named it Sixteen, because of this song. We're all bustling through life trying to go faster and faster trying to get "where we're going". I bought that truck to teach me to slow things down, and appreciate the little things you come across. Sixteen is by no means a fast truck, quick yes, fast, no. She'll get me where I need to go though. No questions asked.

  63. J.... E....

    This song is so awesome

  64. H.... H....

    love thomas rhett!!!! he is the legit best!!

  65. S.... ....

    This song is awesome. We all wish time away but forget to enjoy the now. This moment is all you have. If you're reading this in your teens, you gotta enjoy life every day. We all get older but we don't all grow up. Embrace the changes as they come. My twenties is when I found myself whilst having the most fun. Writing this at 29 life's the best it has been but I'm excited for what's to come. You're young, you have plenty of time to figure it out.
