Boy you better do it now while you got your chance,
Might not have the moves but she wants to dance.
Look at her lookin' at you, you lucky fool.
Man, she thinks you're cool.
Better grab the moment while the time is right,
It'll come and go like a firefly light.
She's standin' there shinin' like the moon in a July sky
Got your own set of wheels and a full tank of gas
Hold on tight boy, it's gonna go fast.
First real taste of what it's like to be free.
Ooh, summer and sixteen.
There's a party on the circle up on Chapel Hill,
Part of me's a wishin' I was up there still,
With my buddies and a beer and my first love by my side.
It's 11: 35.
Gotta leave now cause she can't be late,
It's a 20 minute drive and her daddy won't wait,
And you need that last 5 minutes for that good night kiss.
Man I miss
My old set of wheels and a cheap tank of gas
Holdin' on tight, we were goin' so fast.
First real taste of what it's like to be free.
Ooh, summer and sixteen.
Sometimes those memories feel so far away
And sometimes it seems like yesterday.
Got your own set of wheels and a full tank of gas
Hold on tight boy, it's gonna go fast.
First real taste of what it's like to be free.
Got your own set of wheels and a full tank of gas
Hold on tight boy, it's gonna go fast.
First real taste of what it's like to be free.
Ooh, summer and sixteen.
Summer and sixteen.
