she was staring out that
window of that suv
complaining 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
chorus
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
chorus
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
chorus
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
