Song Notes
Billie Joe wrote 'Sweet 16' for his wife Adrienne for their 16th wedding anniversary.
'Sweet 16’ is about being in a relationship for a really long time. The first verse is about my relationship with Adrienne when we first met. And the second verse is more about our relationship now. And just how time passes and just kinda, ‘Wow, we’re still here and still together.’

Lyrics
Bring me back to an hour ago
Time stands still as the years go by
Brown-eyed girl
That's throwing down a bottle of Olde English
Back in the warehouse
Old days are fine
But are left so far behind
From California to Jane Street
The kids are alright
Alright as they'll ever be
'Cause you will always be my
Well, you will always be my
You will always be my sweet 16
Asleep on the floor on cardboard
Stab out my heart like a dartboard
Brown-skinned girl
That I dream about a long, long time, now
From the Midwest to the beach
Old days are fine
But are left so far behind
From California to Jane Street
The kids are alright
Alright as they'll ever be
'Cause you will always be my
Well, you will always be my
You will always be my sweet 16
Say wha?
Old days are fine
But are left so far behind
From California to Jane Street
The kids are alright
Alright as they'll ever be
'Cause you will always be my
Well, you will always be my
You will always be my sweet 16
