Hold on to 16 slow it on down
Take in the streets of your hometown
Don't skip class try to make 'em all A's
Touch every locker in the hallway
Roll in that Blazer till it's an antique
Let your Dad teach you how to be handy
Ya'll, if I could tell teenage me one thing, I promise it would be
Stay in school, long as you can
Ride with your girl
Get high with your friends
Crack another natty on your tailgate y'all
Trust me graduation can wait y'all
Don't be the guy that doesn't dance at the prom
Don't be too cool to go church with your mom
You gon' wish you hadn't wished away y'all
When it hits you why the grown ups say y'all
Stay in school
Run that reverse till you get it right
Stay on the field till they turn out the lights
Keep on pullin' up to parties on Friday
Keep on buyin' beer witcha fake ID
Leave that song spinnin' on repeat
Kiss her again back that back seat
Stop lookin' so forward to 18
Lookin' back wishin' they could've made me
Stay in school, long as you can
Ride with your girl
Get high with your friends
Crack another natty on your tailgate y'all
Trust me graduation can wait y'all
Don't be the guy that doesn't dance at the prom
Don't be too cool to go church with your mom
You gon' wish you hadn't wished away y'all
When it hits you why the grown ups say y'all
Stay in school
Stay in school, long as you can
Ride with your girl
Get high with your friends
Stay in school, pay your dues, break the rules, make a move,
Play it cool, pick up a thing or two and
Don't think you know, everything cuz you don't
I thought I did, till I wasn't a kid, HEY KIDS
Stay in school, long as you can
Ride with your girl
Get high with your friends
Crack another natty on your tailgate y'all
Trust me graduation can wait y'all
Don't be the guy that doesn't dance at the prom
Don't be too cool to go church with your mom
You gon' wish you hadn't wished away y'all
When it hits you why the grown ups say y'all
Stay in school
Stay in school, long as you can
Ride with your girl
Get high with your friends
Stay in school, pay your dues, break the rules, make a move,
Play it cool, pick up a thing or two and stay in school
