Sixteen in July

What was it like for you
I can tell you in truth what it was like for me
To be sixteen in
July, sixteen in
JulyLicense in my hand
Freedom on my mind
I was sixteen in
July, sixteen in
JulyWith 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
Youd still be sixteen in
July, sixteen in
JulyWith license in your handand freedom on your mind
If youre sixteen in
July, sixteen in
JulyWith summer to your left
And no one to your right
For me it was 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 youre sixteen in
July, sixteen in
JulyWith license in your handand freedom on your mind
I was sixteen in
July, sixteen in
JulyWith summer to my left, and no one to my right
