she was staring out the window of that suv
complaining saying i can’t wait to turn 8
she said i’ll make my own money and i’ll make my own rules
mama 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 onebedroom 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 working on the water heater
dog’s barking phone’s ringing
one kid’s crying one kid’s screaming
she keeps apologizing
he says they don’t bother me
i’ve got two babies of my own
one’s 6 one’s
heh it’s hard to believe but
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
yeah you’re gonna miss this
