You're Gonna Miss This

You're Gonna Miss This - Trace Adkins

She was staring out that window of that SUV

Complaining 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

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'

And 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

You're gonna miss this

Yeah you're gonna miss this
