(Verse 3) 

We worked our way through college waitin' tables 

Bought a little white house with a picket fence and cable 

I asked if he was ready 

To become a Mom and Daddy 

And then I found my answer in his eyes 

And he said, 
 
(Chorus) 
D (xx0232@1)                        G (320003@1)I don't want to wait even one more night 
      D (xx0232@1)                          G (320003@1)It's hard to slow it down when it feels so right 
D (xx0232@1)             G (320003@1)Knees buckled, white knuckled 
      Em7 
We're holdin' on tight (holdin' on tight) 
         G (320003@1)          A (x02220@1)                 D (xx0232@1)(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life

          C (x32010@1)Now, our oldest girl is almost grown 
       G (320003@1)She's got a boyfriend of her own 
    Em7                                  A4A 
I heard her sneakin' out with him last night 
        G (320003@1)And if she's anything like me 
         D (xx0232@1)She's desperate to be wild and free 
         G (320003@1)                       A4A 
We know now it's just a matter of time 
 
'Til she says...
