She was staring out the window of that SUV
Complaning, 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"
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 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 ...
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"
