The Griswolds – 16 Years lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sixteen years
Without even a place to call my own
But I'll dry my tears
Looking for a place to rest my bones
All these years
But never changed the one that I have known
And despite my fears
I'm sure that I can make it on my own

[Chorus]
Quality drugs and limousines
Oh, Momma this is killing me
I'm half the man I used to be, woah
To give to lust and gambling
Oh, Momma I need rescuing
It's what sixteen years has done to me, woah

[Verse 2]
Sixteen years
Burning every bridge that I have known
Without you here
The world has gotten colder on my own

[Chorus]
Quality drugs and limousines
Oh, Momma this is killing me
I'm half the man I used to be, woah
To give to lust and gambling
Oh, Momma I need rescuing
It's what sixteen years has done to me, woah

[Bridge]
There's nothing like it
I'm going away
There's nothing like the feeling
Of being alone on a New York street
Gives everything some meaning
There's nothing like being torn apart
From the love you've known right from the start
There's nothing like this feeling

There's nothing like it
I'm going away
There's nothing like the feeling
Of being alone on a New York street
Gives everything some meaning
There's nothing like being torn apart
From the love you've known right from the start
There's nothing like this feeling

[Chorus]
Quality drugs and limousines
Oh, Momma this is killing me
I'm half the man I used to be, woah
To give to lust and gambling
Oh, Momma I need rescuing
It's what sixteen years has done to me, woah

It's what sixteen years has done to me, woah
It's what sixteen years has done to me, woah
