You swear that you're stayin' single, next thing you know

You meet a girl at a bar and next thing you know

You get her laughin', it's 2 a.m

You're tellin' your buddies, three months in

Then she ain't movin' in, the next thing you know

There's a U-Haul trailer, the 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 savin' money like never before, just to

Spend it all at a jewelry store

Gettin' down on onе knee on her mama's porch

Just prayin' she don't say, "No"

Next thing you know

Your bеst man gives a half-drunk speech and you're

Sunburnt on a honeymoon beach and your

Left hand's gettin' used to that ring

And there the next two or three years go

Next thing you know

You weren't really tryin', next thing you know

There's a test on the counter, next thing you know

She's standin' there cryin', noddin' her head yes

You're half excited, half scared to death

Cause next thing you know

You're wearin' scrubs and a funny white hat and the

Doctor's sayin', 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 wonderin' where they are

You're sayin' that USC's too far

It's amazing how fast seventeen years go

Next thing you know

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 'em to church, teach 'em to fish

And you, tell 'em stories every chance you get

About how fast this life down here can go

Next thing you know

(Next thing you know, ooh)

Next thing you know

(Next thing you know, ooh)
