It Won't Be Long

It won't be long 'til that shot of Jack works your nerve up
To get her name
It won't be long 'til the parking lot kiss by your truck
Turns into a date
It won't be long 'til your buddies wonder where you been
'Cause you skipped out on the duck trip again
It won't be long 'til you see your old man was right
When he said the funny thing about life is
It might be crazy, it might be sweet
Might not be perfect
And it might be the last thing
That you ever saw coming
But it gets a little better when it's spinnin' 'round something
So buy the drink, steal the kiss, make the trip, take the risk
Love hard as you can and just hold on
'Cause life might be a lot of things
But it won't be long
It won't be long 'til you take a starter house to the studs
And paint it white
It won't be long 'til there's a crib where the pool table was
And you're up all night
It won't be long 'til you're sitting at a ball game
And your last names at the plate wearin' 7 again
And right there in your folding chair, that's where it all sinks in
It might be crazy, it might be sweet
Might not be perfect
And it might be the last thing
That you ever saw coming
But it gets a little better when it's spinnin' 'round something
So buy the drink, steal the kiss, make the trip, take the risk
Love hard as you can and just hold on
'Cause life might be a lot of things
But it won't be long
It won't be long
'Til it's a beer at a bar with the boy that you raised
He's a man with a girl and a boy on the way
And it's faster and faster, it ain't slowin' down
'Til you're talkin' 'bout life and you're telling him how
It might be crazy, it might be sweet
Might not be perfect
And it might be the last thing
That you ever saw coming
But it gets a little better when it's spinnin' 'round something
So buy the drink, steal the kiss, make the trip, take the risk
Love hard as you can and just hold on
'Cause life might be a lot of things
But it won't be long
No, no
It won't be long
