Sixteen Years

In a pickup truck, we bought in 1962

And paid each month, till, it belonged to me and you

The cardboard boxes in the back, hold everything we own

Things we've saved for sixteen years, to start a brand new home

We're holding sixteen years of love, in cardboard boxes

Sixteen years of laughter, sweat and tears

We've stacked the back with happiness, sadness, love, and cheer

Things we've saved together, sixteen years

We sold our little dreamhouse, on a small, six-acre farm

And said, "Goodbye", to friends we'll miss, and fields of golden corn

In our search for city life, where pay is big, and jobs are fine

Sixteen years of love and tears, following behind

We're holding sixteen years of love, in cardboard boxes

Sixteen years of laughter, sweat and tears

We've stacked the back with happiness, sadness, love, and cheer

Things we've saved together, sixteen years

Oh, the things we've saved together, sixteen years
