You're gonna' miss this

I've never been a fan of Donald Trump's Apprentice Show, but somehow I got hooked this year. When they started airing previews I saw that Jennie Finch was on and wanted to check it out. (She is an awesome softball pitcher for the USA.) It was fun to watch the tasks they had to do each week and how they would behave.

Tonight was the final between Piers Morgan and Trace Adkins. During the show Trace sang his current #1 hit. I had never heard it until tonight and I loved the lyrics. If you haven't heard it, I have posted the lyrics below.


You're Gonna' Miss This
Trace Adkins

She was starin out the window of their SUV
Complainin sayin I can't wait to turn 18
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
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 talkin' about babies, and buyin a house
Daddy shakes his head
And says baby just slow down

Cuz' 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'
And 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 Yeaahhhh...

you're gonna' miss this...

You're the second person today thats made me cry at work from reading what you've wrote. That song is so true....time goes by so fast. Yesterday I was eating lunch with Mother and as I was looking at her (actually staring and reminicing) it hit me....she's Mam-maw, I'm her and my daughters are me....only better. And it goes on from one generation to the next. Live and Love each day the good Lord gives us.
Love you, remember who you are.
Love MOM

Hi Tab..
It's true!! Life is short. Make memories.. When I think back about some of the things I used to get SO upset about....Pictures are nice but take " pictures in your mind" ( I'm talking to a photographer??? ) Plus all of us are NOT photogentic... Love Mom C.
