[1]
Take a left here boy, take it slow
Don't get d________d by that radio
I just rolled my eyes and I said, "Daddy, I know"
I'm fifteen, I ain't2 gr_____ like some ol' ten-year-old
[2]
What I wouldn't give to be sixteen, wild and free
Cr________ up and down Main in my F-150
Roll the windows down, bass too loud from this b______d CD
I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm sixteen
Sixteen, yeah
[3]
Now that I can drive, finally feel a_____e, but I got this curfew
Sneakin' in late, smellin' like my girlfriend's p_______e
People talk about college and knowledge and that's alright
But all I'm thinkin'3 'bout is an unsupervised Saturday night
[4]
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 f_____ ID
I'll be right where I wanna be
When I'm eighteen
Eighteen, yeah
[5]
I'm old enough to s______
I'm old enough to v____
But they turn me away when I go to the Cotton Eyed Joe
They say the grass is always ______er
And I believe that's right
But my friends are off to Vegas, they're leavin' me b_____d
[6]
What I wouldn't give to be twenty one, wild and free
Open up a cold one and drink it ______ly
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 al______
Yeah…
[7]
Now I'm twenty five and I'm drinkin' wine with my wife ___ h_____
Got a couple of dogs and a couple songs on the radio
And we sit a______ and we laugh about how we used to be
When all we cared about was t_____g sixteen
