She was starin' out the window of their SUV
Complainin', sayin', âI can't wait to turn eighteenâ
She said, âI'll make my own money and I'll make my own rules
Momma, put the car in park out there in front of the schoolâ
And she kissed her head, and said, âI was just like youâ
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, âIt'll do for nowâ
Starts talkin' about babies and buyin' a house
Daddy shakes his head and says, âBaby, just slow downâ
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 plumber
Workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin' and one kid's screamin'
And she keeps apologizin'
He says, âThey don't bother me
I've got two babies of my own
One's thirty-six, one's twenty-threeâ
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
