[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
You're going to miss this
You're going to want this back
You're going to 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 going to miss this
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
You're going to miss this
You're going to want this back
You're going to 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 going to miss this
[Verse 3]
Five years later there's a plumber working on the water heater
Dog's barking, phone's ringing
One kid's crying, one kid's screaming
She keeps apologizing
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
[Chorus]
You're going to miss this
You're going to want this back
You're going to 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 going to miss this
You're going to miss this
Yeah, you're going to miss this
