She was staring out the window of that SUV
|
Complaning, saying "I can't wait to turn 18"
|
She said "I'll make my own money, and I'll make my own rules"
|
Mamma put the car in park out there in front of the school
|
Then 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 a one-bedroom apartment, and her daddy stops by
|
He tells her "It's a nice place"
|
She says "It'll do for now"
|
Starts talking about babies and buying a house
|
Daddy shakes his head and says "Baby, just slow down"
|
|
Cause 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'
|
She keeps apologizin'
|
He says "They don't bother me.
|
I've got 2 babies of my own.
|
One's 36, one's 23.
|
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"
