16 Me

[Verse 1] Sixteen me Upstairs, picking on a cheap six-string Learning chords to songs that I could sing After football games To the girl that I wanted wearing my class ring [Verse 2] Sixteen me With a hundred thousand on that soft-top Jeep Running 'round and 'round those small-town streets Just living for the summer Oh yeah, I can't help but wonder [Chorus] If sixteen me saw me today He'd smile and know it's all okay That he had a few kids and he caught a few dreams And he did it all with the prettiest girl he'd ever seen He'd see answered prayers that he used to pray If sixteen me saw me today [Post-Chorus] (Sixteen me) (Sixteen me) [Verse 3] Sixteen mе'd Probably ask me for my old ID I'd say enjoy it while thе rent is still free And Mama's still young And we both laugh about how far we've come [Chorus] If sixteen me saw me today He'd smile and know it's all okay That he had a few kids and he caught a few dreams And he did it all with the prettiest girl he'd ever seen He'd see answered prayers that he used to pray If sixteen me saw me today [Post-Chorus] (Sixteen me) Oh (Sixteen me) [Bridge] I'd tell him find somebody, start a band See the world while you can Don't wait too long to put a ring on her hand Making money can't buy time And trust me, it flies by Pretty soon, you'll be right where I am [Chorus] Where sixteen me feels so far away And you don't yet, but it's worth the wait When you have a few kids and you catch a few dreams And you'd do it all with the prettiest girl you've ever seen Yeah, you'd look around and say, "No way" If you could see this crowd, these lights, this stage He'd see answered prayers that he used to pray If sixteen me saw me today [Outro] (Sixteen me) (Sixteen me) (If sixteen me saw me today) (Sixteen me)
