Alone in your car finally sixteen years
Everything in life seems crystal clear
Roll down the window throw your arm outside
All us men have known this pride
Pull up to the curb around you
You're the right type of girl who's old and true
Put the car in gear turn the radio dial
She's like putty in the hands of a child
Hands of a child
She came easy like a doe in heat
Squirming like a viper on a vinyl seat
And a steadier hand never wiped her tears
She became a mother at sixteen years
Sixteen years to the day
That her mother had her, now she's another
The world goes round that sun
Another sixteen years
They all say she looks just like you
That little girl smiling in your rearview
You shrug a little bit and offer no lies
She has your face but her mother's eyes
You never believed there'll come a day
She'll grow to understand every word you say
Show her how to put the old car in gear
Now she knows it all at sixteen years
Sixteen year to the day
That her mother had her and now she's a woman
The world goes round that sun
Another sixteen years
One arm around the love of your life
The woman as a boy you took for your wife
But your other hands on that horizon line
And point that machine back in time
Press the gas pedal down the lines disappear
You ain't much older than sixteen years
Sixteen years to the day
That your mother had you, you're as old as her now
And the world goes round that sun
Another sixteen years
Sixteen years
