I got a black top road out in front of me
And I might just tear it up 
I gotta rock'n'roll jones pumpin' in deep
Just might tear it up 
Gimme a bar room floor a back beat band
Play the kinda music I can understand 
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand just might tear it up.
Tear it up hey I just might tear it up 
Tear it up Tear it up 
Ya know I just might tear it up 

I got a ticket from a cop on the way over here 
Just might tear it up 
I got the repossession notice for my car right here
Just might tear it up 
Oh one of these nights I ain't lyin'
If the moon is right and I feel like flyin'
Sweet sixteen take me down the line just might tear it up 

The way you rock and roll me you make it look so easy
And when you're out on the floor baby 
You make it look so easy 
Hey you really touch my soul baby 
You make it You make it 
Tear it up 

The way you rock and roll me you make it look so easy
And when you're out on the floor baby 
You make it You make it You make it 
We got the rock'n'roll band pumpin' tear it up
We got the kids in the gym jumpin' tear it up 
We got the chaperones hip hoppin' tear it up 
We got sweet sixteen 

Sweet sixteen take me by the hand Tear it up 
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand Tear it up 
Sweet sixteen take me by the hand Tear it up
