Sixteen Years

[Verse 1]

In a pickup truck we bought in 1962

And paid each month 'til it belonged to me and you

The cardboard boxes in the back hold everything we own

Things we've saved for sixteen years to start a brand new home

[Chorus]

We're holding sixteen years of love in cardboard boxes

Sixteen years of laughter, sweat, and tears

We've stacked the back with happiness, sadness, love, and cheer

Things we've saved together sixteen years

[Verse 2]

We sold our little dream house on a small six-acre farm

And said goodbye to friends we'll miss and fields of golden corn

In our search for city life where pay is big and jobs are fine

Sixteen years of love and tears following behind

[Chorus]

We're holding sixteen years of love in cardboard boxes

Sixteen years of laughter, sweat, and tears

We've stacked the back with happiness, sadness, love, and cheer

Things we've saved together sixteen years
