Going on 16 © 2011 Allen Glaser I was 15, going on 16 She was wearing a smile and a pretty red dress I walked up to her, asked her her name She just smiled at me and said “I guess” I'd never held her quite that way before Oh I never will again, I know Guess I never will I was 23, going on 16 She was wearing a diamond and pretty white dress Her mother didn't think that much of me Neither did her father I guess We spent our honeymoon at an old hotel Where I played from 9 'til 2 Guess I never unpacked my bags to come home Guess I never will When it's late at night And we're just closing her down I take one moment to take a good look around Close my eyes To watch a little girl in a red dress dance alone. Now I'm 30 something, going on 16 Still hummin' and strummin' across the land Playing every God-forsaken town Trying to pull myself down When it's late at night And we're just closing her down I take one moment, take a good look around Close my eyes To watch a little girl in a red dress dance alone. She dances alone
