[Verse 1]
D D/F# G Asus4
Take a left here boy, take it slow
D D/F# G Asus4
Don't get distracted by that radio
D D/F# G Asus4
I just rolled my eyes and I said, "Daddy, I know"
D D/F# G Asus4
I'm fifteen, I ain't green like some ol' ten year old
[Chorus]
D D/F# G Asus4
What I wouldn't give to be sixteen, wild and free
D D/F# G Asus4
Cruisin' up and down main in my F-150
D D/F# G Asus4
Roll the windows down, bass too loud from this burnt CD
D D/F# G
I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm sixteen
Asus4 D D/F# G
Sixteen, yeah
Asus4 D D/F# G Asus4
Sixteen
[Verse 2]
D D/F# G Asus4
Now that I can drive, finally feel alive, but I got this curfew
D D/F# G Asus4
Sneakin' in late, smelling like my girlfriend's perfume
D D/F# G Asus4
People talk about college and knowledge and that's alright
D D/F# G
But all I'm thinkin' 'bout is an unsupervised Saturday night
[Chorus 2]
D D/F# G Asus4
What I wouldn't give to be eighteen, wild and free
D D/F# G Asus4
Buzzin' off a can of the grizzly wintergreen
D D/F# G Asus4
Lookin' old enough to pull off this fake ID
D D/F# G
I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm eighteen
Asus4 D D/F# G
Eighteen, yeah

Eighteen
[Bridge]
Bm
I'm old enough to smoke
G
I'm old enough to vote
D A
But they turn me away when I go to the Cotton Eyed Joe
Bm
They say the grass is always greener
G
And I believe that's right
D A
But my friends are off to Vegas, and they're leavin' me behind
[Chorus 3]
D D/F# G Asus4
What I wouldn't give to be twenty one, wild and free
D D/F# G Asus4
Open up a cold one and drink it legally
D D/F# G
Chase a bunch of girls, go see the world
Asus4
Let my wild streak run
D D/F# G
I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm twenty one
Asus4 D D/F#
Twenty one
G Asus4 D D/F#
(woah, when I'm twenty one)
G Asus4 D D/F#
(yeah, when I'm twenty one, it'll be alright)

(yeah, it'll all be alright, when I'm twenty one)
[Outro]
D D/F# G Asus4
Now I'm twenty five and I'm drinking wine with my wife at home
D D/F# G Asus4
Got a couple of dogs and a couple of songs on the radio
D D/F# G Asus4
And we sit around and we laugh about how we used to be
D D/F#
When all we cared about was turning sixteen
