I Was Sixteen (Part 1) lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]
[Violin Solo]

[Verse 1]
I was sixteen now and full of life
Life is full of things to see
Grown up in my little town
And only seen Torquay

[Verse 2]
So it's off I went to Newton Abbot
To get myself the deeds to sign
Father took them and tore them up
Saying "That's no life for a boy of mine"
