There's no better feeling than laughing 'til everything seems okay
Or watching the sunset with your best friends while your worries drift away
Kissing' underneath the streetlights
Those carefree summer nights
And music blasting on the radio
Won't know these were the best times of my life until they're gone
Won't know how much times flown by till I'm far from home
Won't know how much I'll miss these days till they're out of reach
Oh lord I'd give anything
To stay sixteen
There's nothing greater than driving your first time out on the highway
Or any problem being solved over ice cream on a warm summer day
How bout endless small town parties
Teenage boys who can't say sorry
Staying up too late thinking about who we could be
Won't know these were the best times of my life until they're gone
Won't know how much times flown by till I'm far from home
Won't know how much I'll miss these days till they're out of reach
Oh lord I'd give anything
To stay sixteen
It's impossible to know how many great nights I have left
But from now on I'll cherish every moment that I get
And when I got a baby on the way or I'm old and gray
I'll look back on this and say
Didn't know those were the best times of my life until they'd gone
Didn't know how much time flew by till I came back home
Didn't know how much I'd miss those days till they were out of reach
Oh lord I'd give anything
To be sixteen
Ohhhhh to be sixteen
To be sixteen
