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

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

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

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

About how fast this life down here can go
