Song of the Day: You're Gonna Miss This (Trace Adkins)

You're Gonna Miss This by Trace Adkins

Genre: Country

Released: 2007

In time when we are constantly wanting more we have to remember to take a moment to live in the present. Look and appreciate everything that is around you right now. It's not going to last forever and you will be looking back at those times, reminiscing. 

Lyrics: 

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
