Sweet 16
Uncle Kracker Song Lyrics

Yesterday we were coming of age

Everything brand new

Just a boy and a 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 4-door ford

And those sweet memories are forever more

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 nothing to prove

Jäger fifths are now grocery lists and their laced with some honey do's

New shoes and backpacks for school, ain't we livin' the dream

We were breaking the rules now were making the rules

And we're somewhere in between

Somewhere between a dream and a compromise

Everyday reminds me how time flies.

And now sweet 16's 34

We traded in a drop top hot rod chevy

For a 4-door ford

And those sweet memories are forever more

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 rockstar

House in the hills, everything but bills

Champagne and caviar

Photoshoots, first class flights, we'd sleep all day, and rage all night

Just you and I, living the life

Yeah...

We got no oscar, we got no grammy

But we got us, friends, and family

The wheels keep spinning, just a loving and a living

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 4-door ford

And those sweet memories are forever more

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 spinning, just a loving and a living

And it's better than it was before.
