You're Gonna Miss This

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
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
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' and he says they don't bother me.
I've got 2 babies of my own, one's 36, one's 23.
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...
