Verse 1
B B 
 
You swear that you're stayin' single,
next thing you know
G#m G#m 
 
You meet a girl at a bar
and next thing you know
F# F# 
 
You get her laughin', it's two AM
E E 
 
You're tellin' your buddies three months in
B B 
 
She ain't movin' in, the next thing you know
G#m G#m 
 
There's a U-Haul trailer, next thing you know
F# F# 
 
Your old apartment is y'all's new place
E E 
 
There goes the carpet
but the deer head stays

Chorus 1
B B 
 
Next thing you know
You're savin' money like never before
G#m G#m 
 
Just to    spend it all at a jewelry store
F# F# 
 
Gettin' down on one knee
on her mama's porch
E E 
 
Just prayin' she don't say, "No"
B B 
 
Next thing you know
Your best man gives a half-drunk speech
G#m G#m 
 
And you're sunburned on a honeymoon beach
F# F# 
 
And your left hand's gettin' used to that ring
E E 
 
And there the next two or three years go
Next thing you know
B B 
 
G#m G#m 
 
E E 
 

Verse 2
B B 
 
You weren't really tryin', next thing you know
G#m G#m 
 
There's a test on the counter,
next thing you know
F# F# 
 
She's standin' there cryin',
noddin' her head, "Yes"
E E 
 
You're half excited, half scared to death

Chorus 2
B B 
 
'Cause next thing you know
You're wearin' scrubs and a funny white hat
G#m G#m 
 
And the   doctor's sayin',
"How you doin' there, dad?"
F# F# 
 
And nobody's ever called you that
E E 
 
And you take the drive home slow
B B 
 
Next thing you know
It's first steps, first dates, first car
G#m G#m 
 
It's eleven oh one wonderin' where they are
F# F# 
 
You're sayin' that USC's too far
E E 
 
It's amazing how fast seventeen years go

E E 
 
And still some down the road

'Cause next thing you know
You got a yard full of your kid's kids

About how fast this life down here can go
