Testo Sixteen Years
Lone in a car finally sixteen years
Everything in life seems to disappear
Rode down and when I thought alone outside
All us men have known this pride
Pull up to the curve around you
You're the right type of girl who's old and true
But the calling on the radio dial
She's like pudding in the hands of a child
Hands of a child
She came easy like a dough in heat
Screaming like a vapor and I found to see
And a steady a hand never wiped her tears
She became a mother at sixteen years
Sixteen years to the day
That her mother had her, now she's another
The world goes round that sun
Another sixteen years
They all say she looks just like you
That little girl smiling in your rearview
You should've been offering no lies
She has your face but her mother's eyes
You never believed that'll come a day
She'll grow to understand every word you say
Show her how to put the car in gear Now she knows it all at sixteen years
Sixteen years to the day
That her mother had her, now she's a woman
The world goes round that sun
Another sixteen years
One arm around the love of your life
The woman as a boy you took for your wife
But you know that rising line
You pulled that machine back in time
Press the gas pedal, the lines disappear
You're not much older than sixteen years
Sixteen years to the day
That your mother had you, you're as old as her now
And the world goes round that sun
Another sixteen years
Sixteen years
Everything in life seems to disappear
Rode down and when I thought alone outside
All us men have known this pride
Pull up to the curve around you
You're the right type of girl who's old and true
But the calling on the radio dial
She's like pudding in the hands of a child
Hands of a child
She came easy like a dough in heat
Screaming like a vapor and I found to see
And a steady a hand never wiped her tears
She became a mother at sixteen years
Sixteen years to the day
That her mother had her, now she's another
The world goes round that sun
Another sixteen years
They all say she looks just like you
That little girl smiling in your rearview
You should've been offering no lies
She has your face but her mother's eyes
You never believed that'll come a day
She'll grow to understand every word you say
Show her how to put the car in gear Now she knows it all at sixteen years
Sixteen years to the day
That her mother had her, now she's a woman
The world goes round that sun
Another sixteen years
One arm around the love of your life
The woman as a boy you took for your wife
But you know that rising line
You pulled that machine back in time
Press the gas pedal, the lines disappear
You're not much older than sixteen years
Sixteen years to the day
That your mother had you, you're as old as her now
And the world goes round that sun
Another sixteen years
Sixteen years
