Chatham County Line - Sixteen Years lyrics

Lone in a car finally sixteen years Everything in life seems to disappear Rode down and when I thought alone outside All us men have known this pride Pull up to the curve around you You're the right type of girl who's old and true But the calling on the radio dial She's like pudding in the hands of a child Hands of a child She came easy like a dough in heat Screaming like a vapor and I found to see And a steady a hand never wiped her tears She became a mother at sixteen years Sixteen years to the day That her mother had her, now she's another The world goes round that sun sponsored links Another sixteen years They all say she looks just like you That little girl smiling in your rearview You should've been offering no lies She has your face but her mother's eyes You never believed that'll come a day She'll grow to understand every word you say Show her how to put the car in gear Now she knows it all at sixteen years Sixteen years to the day That her mother had her, now she's a woman The world goes round that sun Another sixteen years One arm around the love of your life The woman as a boy you took for your wife But you know that rising line You pulled that machine back in time Press the gas pedal, the lines disappear You're not much older than sixteen years Sixteen years to the day That your mother had you, you're as old as her now And the world goes round that sun Another sixteen years Sixteen years
