At Sixteen by Charlie Mitchell

When I was a boy/
I wasted so much time/
I didn’t know /what I was trying /so hard to find/
This dating game was insane/
It seemed to have no end/
I dreamed about lovers/
What I needed was a friend/

At sixteen/ I knew everything/
Every grown up I knew /was a fool/
I hated getting up for school/
Consequences were too few/
And I know /that you know/
What I mean/
At sixteen/ I knew everything/

Why ask anyone/
When you know it all/
I thought that I was bullet proof /and ten feet tall/
I got better looking with each beer/
Now the truth seems so clear/
When I look back/
I laugh at all those years/

At sixteen/ I knew everything/
Every grown up I knew /was a fool/
I hated getting up for school/
Consequences were too few/
And I know /that you know/
What I mean/
At sixteen/ I knew everything/

You know what
They always say/
Wisdom comes with age, and vitality/ is wasted on youth/
Looking back from where I stand/
I did everything I can/
Just to prove/
That what they say is the truth/

At sixteen/ I knew everything/
Every grown up I knew /was a fool/
I hated getting up for school/
Consequences were too few/
And I know /that you know/
What I mean/
At sixteen/ I knew everything/
