She was starin' out the window of that suv
Complainin' saying i cant 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

your gonna miss this 
your gonna want this back 
your 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

before she knows it shes a brand new bride
in her one bedroom apartment and her daddy stops by
he tells her its a nice place, she says itll do for now
starts talkin bout babies and buyin a house
daddy shakes his head and says, baby slow down

cause your gonna miss this
your gonna want this back
your gonna wish these days 
hadnt 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

but your gonna miss this 
your gonna want this back
