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 a 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 spinning '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 ballgame
And your last name's at the plate, wearing seven 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 spinning '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 slowing 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 it's spinning '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
