You're Gonna Miss This Lyrics - American Man: Greatest Hits Vol. Ii - Trace Adkins

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 

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, 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' 

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
