Next Thing You Know

Текст песни Jordan Davis - Next Thing You Know

I swear that you're staying single, next thing you know
You meet a girl at a bar and next thing you know
You get her laughing, it's 2 a.m.
You're telling your buddies, three months in

That she ain't moving in, the next thing you know
There's a U-Haul trailer, next thing you know
Your old apartment is y'all's new place
There goes the carpet, but the deer head stays

Next thing you know
You're saving money like never before
Just to spend it all at a jewelry store
Getting down on one knee on her mama's porch
Just praying she don't say no

Next thing you know
Your best man gives a half-drunk speech
And you're sunburnt on a honeymoon beach
And your left hand's getting used to that ring
And there the next two or three years go

Next thing you know

You weren't really trying, next thing you know
There's a test on the counter, next thing you know
She's standing there crying, nodding her head yes
You're half excited, half scared to death

'Cause next thing you know
You're wearing scrubs and a funny white hat
And the doctor's saying, "How you doin' there, Dad?"
And nobody's ever called you that
And you take that drive home slow

Next thing you know
It's first steps, first dates, first car
It's 11:01, wondering where they are
You're saying that USC's too far
It's amazing how fast 17 years go

Next thing you know (next thing you know)
Well, next thing you know

Next thing you know
You get to know your wife again
And you're more in love than you've ever been
With a lot of years of "remember when?"'s
And still some down the road

'Cause next thing you know
You got a yard full of your kid's kids
And you take them to church, teach them to fish
And you tell them stories every chance you get
About how fast this life down here can go

Next thing you know
(Next thing you know)
Next thing you know
(Next thing you know)
