She was staring out 
the window of that 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 and buying a house
And 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 
working on the 
water heater
Dogs barking, 

phone's ringing, 
one kid's crying, 
one kid's screaming
And she keeps 

apologizing 
he says they don't 
bother me
I got two babies 

of my own, 
one's thirty-six, 
one's twenty-three
Its 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
