She was staring out the window, of their 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
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 talking about babies, and buying a house
And 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
And she keeps apologizing, he says they don't bother me
I've got two 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
You're gonna miss this, yeah you're gonna miss this
