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 its 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 is 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 its 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 girla a boy on the way

And it's faster and faster, it ain't slowin' down

'Til you're talking '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 its 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
