Trace Adkins - You're Gonna Miss This lyrics

She was staring out the window of that SUV

Complaining saying I can’t wait to turn 18

I'll make my own money and I'll make my own rules

Mama 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

Daddy shakes his head and says, baby slow down

Cause 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 your gonna miss this

Five years later there’s a plumber

Working on the water heater,

Dogs barking, phones ringing,

One kids crying

One kid’s screaming

And she keeps apologizing

He says they don’t bother me

I’ve got 2 babies of my own

Ones 36, ones 23, huh it’s hard to believe

But your 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

Your gonna miss this

Oh yeah, you’re gonna miss this
