16 In July
What was it like for you?
I can tell you in truth, what it was like for me.
To be 16 in July,
16 in July
License in my hand
Freedom on my mind
I was 16 in July
16 in July
The summer to my left
And no one to my right.
What did you want to hear on your radio?
Even if it did not come in clear
You'd still be 16 in July
16 in July
With license in your hand,
And freedom on your mind.
If you're 16 in July
16 in July
With summer to your left
And no one to your right
For me it was a shortcut road
The girl was new, and the car was old.
Were you in love like me?
Or at least as in love as you can be
When you're 16 in July
16 in July
With license in your hand,
And freedom on your mind
I was 16 in July
16 in July
With summer to my left
And no one to my right.
