She was staring out the window of that SUV
Complaining saying I can’t wait to turn 18 
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
Daddy shakes his head and says, baby 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 your gonna miss this

Five years later there’s a plumber 
Working on the water heater, 
Dogs barking, phones ringing, 
One kids crying
One kid’s  screaming 
And she keeps apologizing
He says they don’t bother me 
I’ve got 2 babies of my own
Ones 36, ones 23, huh it’s hard to believe 

But your 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
Your gonna miss this
Oh yeah, you’re gonna miss this
