Sweet 16 Lyrics

Bring me back to an hour ago
Time stands still as the years go by
Brown eyed girl that's throwing down a bottle of Old English
Back in the warehouse

Old days are fine but are left so far behind
From California to Jane Street
Kids alright,...

    That’s actually wrong. It’s Jane street as he was my next door neighbor on Jane street Nyc in btw 8th ave and Hudson west village. He’s kept an apartment there for years, Jane street also features in other songs as well.

    I believe this is a love song to Adrienne and I believe everyone has the line "From California to Jane Street" wrong. It's actually "James Street" which is a street in Minneapolis where she is from. Beautiful song.

    Not quite clear on the "brown skin girl" unless Billie is speaking of her complexion.
