Trace Adkins - You're Gonna Miss This


She was starin' out the window of their SUV
Complainin', sayin', I can't wait to turn eighteen
She said, I'll make my own money and I'll make my own rules
Momma, put the car in park out there in front of the school
And she kissed her head, and said, I was just like you

You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days
Hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Before she knows it she's a brand new bride
In her one bedroom apartment and her daddy stops by
He tells her it's a nice place, she says, It'll do for now
Starts talkin' about babies and buyin' a house
Daddy shakes his head and says, Baby, just slow down

Cuz' you're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days
Hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

Five years later there's a plumber
Workin' on the water heater
Dog's barkin', phone's ringin'
One kid's cryin' and one kid's screamin'
And she keeps apologizin'

He says, They don't bother me
I've got two babies of my own
One's thirty-six, one's twenty-three
Huh, it's hard to believe

But you're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days
Hadn't gone by so fast

These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this

You're gonna miss this
Yeah, you're gonna miss this

Teach Your Children - Crosby Stills & Nash

You, who are on the road must have a code that you can live by.
And so become yourself because the past is just a good bye.
Teach your children well, their father's hell did slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they fix, the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry,
So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

And you, of the tender years can't know the fears that your elders grew by,
And so please help them with your youth, they seek the truth before they can die.
Teach your parents well, their children's hell will slowly go by,
And feed them on your dreams, the one they fix,the one you'll know by.
Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you would cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.

Statler Brothers ~ How Great Thou Art

[matchgirl]

I have three, Joseph’s Song
Patricia, My Darling Patricia
Watchin’ Scottie Grow.
The first tells of Joseph’s wonder of the Christ Child
The second, tells of my father’s love for me and
The third tells of my love for my son, Scott.

When Scott was three years old, he heard Watchin’ Scottie Grow on the radio. A few days later, he said, “Turn on the radio, I want to hear Watchin’ Scottie Grow.” I especially like the last line-—Me and God are watchin’ Scottie grow.

Good morning, Everyone.
Good morning to our

AWESOME

Military, our Allies, and their families.

Thank you, Connie, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
Just dropping in to say hello while I have my coffee.

. . . . . .

I do have to offer my opinion piece
as I watch the news on Black Friday shoppers...
Retailers REALLY need to come up with a better idea.
People acting like there is a food shortage,
trampling over each other for what?
Certainly not food...a toy?

HIGHWAY 20 RIDE (Zac Brown Band)

I ride east every other Friday but if i had it my way
The day would not be wasted on this drive
And I want so bad to hold you
Son there's things I haven't told you
Your mom and me couldn't get along
So I'll drive
And I think about my life
And wonder why, That I slowly die inside
Every time I turn that truck around,
right at the Georgia line
and i count the days and the miles back home to you
on that Highway 20 ride
A day might come and you'll realize
that if you could see through my eyes
There was no other way to work it out
And a part of you might hate me
But son please don't mistake me
For a man that didn't care at all
And I'll drive
And I'll think about my life
And wonder why, That I slowly die inside
Every time I turn that truck around,
right at the Georgia line
and i count the days and the miles back home to you
on that Highway 20 ride
So when you drive
And the years go flying by
I hope you smile
If i ever cross your mind
It was a pleasure of my life
And I cherished every time
And my whole world
It begins and ends with you
On that Highway 20 ride....

Got to make my rounds.
But, stay right where you are.
Chat up the troops and their families.

Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS

OPEN

Come in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, tea,
pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS

REMEMBER THEM

DEFENDERS OF FREEDOM

Friday Morning Coffee Bump.

((HUGS))Good morning, Beach. How's it going?

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Thank YOU!!!!

That song has made me laugh since I first heard it. Growing up in NC, I was familiar with people who had some or all or the elements of this song in their lives year round. I am as comfortable with them as I am with the richy, rich people I worked for.

God Bless America!!!!

A thread about family-related songs wouldn't be complete without Bill Anderson's Po' Folks.

I first heard this on the radio of our 1958 Edsel Villager station wagon on August 21, 1961. I and didn't hear it again until January, 2012, when it was played over satellite radio in my 2012 Hyundai.

Thanks, it has been a long journey and this song has and still does jog my memory to the good thoughts along the way.

I have many more but this one seems to rise above the others. I was/am a Abba fan. Fell in love with Agnetha Faltskog and never fell out. lol

[ColdOne]

Fredd only got a small bite of turkey. We didn’t cook one this year althought went to the town dinner. So not many leftovers....He did get to lick the paper plates with the residue from the gravy, stuffing and mashed potatoes!!!

[depenzz]

WOW, those Johnny cakes sure look appetizing, could you Fed Ex some over to my house? Better use one day service lol
