You're gonna miss this

She was staringout the window
of their 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
“Iwas 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”
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 thiiiiiis
five years later there’s a plumber
workin’ on the water heart
dog’s barkin’, phone’s ringin’
one kid’s cryin’, one kid’s screamin’
and she keeps apologizin’
hesays “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 thiiiiiis you're gonna miss this
you're gonna miss thiiiiis
