Sixteen Years Lyrics - Dolly Parton

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
