You're Gonna Miss This

She was starin out the window of their SUV

Complainin sayin I can't wait to turn 18

She said I'll make my own money

And I'll make my own rules

Momma put the car in park out there in front of the school

And she kissed her head, and said

'I was just like you'

You're gonna' miss this

You're gonna' want this back

You're gonna' wish these days

Hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna' miss this

Before she knows it she's a brand new bride

In her one bedroom apartment

And her daddy stops by

He tells her it's a nice place

She says, 'It'll do for now'

Starts talkin' about babies, and buyin a house

Daddy shakes his head

And says baby just slow down

Cuz' you're gonna' miss this

You're gonna' want this back

You're gonna' wish these days

Hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna' miss this

Five years later there's a plumber

Workin' on the water heater

Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'

One kid's cryin' one kid's screamin'

And she keeps apologizin'

He says they don't bother me

I've got two babies of my own

One's thirty- six, one's twenty- three

Huh, it's hard to believe

But you're gonna' miss this

You're gonna' want this back

You're gonna' wish these days

Hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times

So take a good look around

You may not know it now

But you're gonna' miss this

You're gonna' miss this

Yeaahhhh... you're gonna' miss this...
