You're savin' money like never before

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

noddin' her head, "Yes"

'Cause next thing you know
You're wearin' scrubs and a funny white hat

And the doctor's sayin',
"How you doin' there, dad?"

Next thing you know
It's first steps, first dates, first car

It's eleven oh one wonderin' where they are

You're sayin' that USC's too far

It's amazing how fast seventeen years go
