[Verse 1]
Sixteen years, without even a place to call my home
But I'll dry my tears, looking for a place to rest my bones
All these years, but never changed the one that I have known
And despite my fears, I'm sure that I can make it on my own

[Hook]
Party drugs and limousines, oh mama this is killing me
I'm half the man I used to be, o-oh
Tequila, lust and gambling, oh mama I need rescuing
What sixteen years has done to me, o-oh

[Verse 2]
Sixteen years, burning every bridge that I have known
Without you here, the world has gotten colder on my own

[Hook]
Party drugs and limousines, oh mama this is killing me
I'm half the man I used to be, o-oh
Tequila, lust and gambling, oh mama I need rescuing
What sixteen years has done to me, o-oh

[Verse 3]
There's nothing like it, I'm going away
There's nothing like the feeling
Of being alone now on a New York street
Gives everything some meaning
There's nothing like being torn apart
From a love you've known right from the start
There's nothing like this feeling
There's nothing like it, I'm going away
There's nothing like the feeling
Of being alone now on a New York street
Gives everything some meaning
There's nothing like being torn apart
From a love you've known right from the start
There's nothing like this feeling
[Hook]
Party drugs and limousines, oh mama this is killing me
I'm half the man I used to be, o-oh
Tequila, lust and gambling, oh mama I need rescuing
What sixteen years has done to me, o-oh

[Outro]
It's what sixteen years has done to me, o-oh
It's what sixteen years has done to me, o-oh
