You get her laughin', it's two AM

You're tellin' your buddies   three months in

She ain't movin' 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

Chorus 1

Next thing you know
You're savin' money like never before
Bbm9 Bbm9 
 
Just to     spend it all at a jewelry store
Absus4 Absus4 
 
Gettin' down      on one knee
on her mama's porch
Gbsus2 Gbsus2 
 
Just prayin'   she don't say, "No"
Db Db 
 
Next thing you know
Your best man gives a half-drunk speech
Bbm9 Bbm9 
 
And you're sunburned on a honeymoon beach

And your      left hand's gettin' used to that ring

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

Chorus 2
Db Db 
 
'Cause next thing you know
You're wearin' scrubs and a funny white hat
Bbm9 Bbm9 
 
And the    doctor's sayin',
"How you doin' there, dad?"
Absus4 Absus4 
 
And       nobody's ever called you that
Gbsus2 Gbsus2 
 
And you take      the drive home slow
Db Db 
 
Next thing you know
It's first steps, first dates, first car
Bbm9 Bbm9 
 
It's eleven  oh one wonderin' where they are
Absus4 Absus4 
 
You're sayin'    that USC's too far
Gbsus2 Gbsus2 
 
It's amazing    how fast seventeen years go
