Momma never lies And daddy's superhuman Time is just something to waste And you don't know it's moving As sure as the grass grows back and the hot sun sets Your five best friends will be your best friends forever Remember? Wasn't that sweet sixteen? Just candles and a never-broke heart First miles on a hand-me-down car Tryna cross those county lines Summer nights, shotgun seats Stealing one more kiss before curfew Covering smoke with my sister's perfume No ceiling on that big blue sky Before I found out getting out of that small town Really wasn't that sweet Wasn't that sweet sixteen? Turning off the news In my one-bedroom apartment Damn, I wish I knew How good I had it back then Back when I was dying to be one of the popular girls And the game rained out was the end of the world Wasn't that sweet sixteen? Just candles and a never-broke heart First miles on a hand-me-down car Tryna cross those county lines Summer nights, shotgun seats Stealing one more kiss before curfew Covering smoke with my sister's perfume No ceiling on that big blue sky Before I found out getting out of that small town Really wasn't that sweet Wasn't that sweet sixteen? Sixteen, sixteen, yeah Wasn't that sweet sixteen? When you had a perfect view Of your whole life in front of you Wasn't that sweet sixteen? Stealing one more kiss before curfew Covering smoke with my sister's perfume No ceiling on that big blue sky Before I found out getting out of that small town Really wasn't that sweet Wasn't that sweet sixteen? Sixteen, sixteen, yeah Sixteen, yeah
