Sweet 16 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Bring me back to an hour ago
Time stands still as the years go by
Brown-eyed girl that's throwin' down a bottle of Olde English
Back in the warehouse
[Chorus]
Old days are fine, but are left so far behind
From California to Jane Street
The kids are alright, alright as they'll ever be
'Cause you will always be my
Well, you will always be my
You will always be my Sweet 16
[Verse 2]
Asleep on the floor on cardboard
Stab out my heart like a dartboard
Brown-skinned girl that I dream about a long, long time now
From the Midwest to the beach
[Chorus]
Old days are fine, but are left so far behind
From California to Jane Street
The kids are alright, alright as they'll ever be
'Cause you will always be my
Well, you will always be my
You will always be my Sweet 16
[Bridge]
Say wha?
[Chorus]
Old days are fine, but are left so far behind
From California to Jane Street
The kids are alright, alright as they'll ever be
'Cause you will always be my
Well, you will always be my
You will always be my Sweet 16
