[Intro}
C C F G (x2)
[Verse 1]
C F G
Take a left here boy, take it slow
C F G
Don't get distracted by that radio
C F G
I just rolled my eyes and I said, "Daddy, I know"
C F G
I'm fifteen, I ain't green like some ol' ten year old
[Chorus]
C F G
What I wouldn't give to be sixteen, wild and free
C F G
Cruisin' up and down main in my F-150
C F G
Roll the windows down, bass too loud from this burnt CD
C F
I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm sixteen
G C F G
Sixteen, yeah
[Verse 2]
C F G
Now that I can drive, finally feel alive, but I got this curfew
C F G
Sneakin' in late, smelling like my girlfriend's perfume
C F G
People talk about college and knowledge and that's alright
C
But all I'm thinkin' 'bout is an unsupervised Saturday night
[Chorus 2]
C F G
What I wouldn't give to be eighteen, wild and free
C F G
Buzzin' off a can of the grizzly wintergreen
C F G
Lookin' old enough to pull off this fake ID
C F
I'll be right where I wanna be when I'm eighteen
C F C F
Eighteen, yeah
[Bridge]
Am
I'm old enough to smoke
F
I'm old enough to vote
C G
But they turn me away when I go to the Cotton Eyed Joe
Am
They say the grass is always greener
F
And I believe that's right
C G
But my friends are off to Vegas, they're leavin' me behind
[Chorus 3]
C F G
What I wouldn't give to be twenty one, wild and free
C F
Open up a cold one and drink it legally
C F
Chase a bunch of girls, go see the world
G
Let my wild streak run
C
I'll be right where I wanna be
F G C F G
When I'm twenty one, twenty one
C F G
(woah, when I'm twenty one)
C F
(yeah, when I'm twenty one, it'll be alright
G C F G
(yeah, it'll be alright, when I'm twenty one)
[Outro]
C F G
Now I'm twenty five and I'm drinking wine with my wife at home
C F G
Got a couple of dogs and a couple of songs on the radio
C F G C
And we sit around and we laugh about how we used to be
C
When all we cared about was turning sixteen
