I'm gonna miss this

"She was starin' out the window of that SUV

Complainin' sayin' I can't wait to turn 18

she said I'll make my own money

and I'll make my own roots

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 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 face 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 plummer workin' on the water heater,

Dogs barkin' phones ringin'

one kid's cryin' one kid's screamin',

And she keeps apologizing,

he says they don't bother me I 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
You're gonna miss this

Yeah, you're gonna miss this"
