She was staring out the window of their SUV

Complaining saying I can't wait to turn eighteen

She said I'll make my own money

And I'll make my own rules

Momma 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

Buying a house

Daddy shakes his head

And says baby just slow down

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 screaming

She keeps apologizin'

He says they don't bother me

I've got two babies of my own

One's thirty six

One's twenty three

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
