Verse
Em D G
Time flies like a teenage heartbeat.
Em
Feels like we were seventeen last night
D C
Now you're fightin' with your kids in the car seat
Em
They ain't got my eyes like I thought they might
D G
Every day, kinda wonder where you're headed.
Em
In your life, in your Lululemon.
D C
Smile and wave at you on the way to work
Like it don't, but the truth is it hurts like a
Chorus
Em G
Mother, see you runnin' 'round town in your 4Runner
Em
Drivin' with your babies in the back
C
Say you always wanted one named Jack.
Kinda love and hate to see you like that
Em
It's a bummer
G
Every other red light, I wonder if you wonder
If you'd Do it different if you could
Em C
You a bad ex to have in the small-town woods, but ****
Em D G Em D C
Always knew you'd make a real good mother
Verse
Em D G
I guess your future turned out fine without me in it
Em
Still amazed how fast I heard wedding bells
D C
Cemetery's 'bout to get me six feet in it
Em
Watchin' you play house with someone else
D G
Down the street, so I can't ignore it
Em
Only got one regret, and you're it
D C
I'll shake his hand like it's nothin' at church
Bow my head, prayin', "Lord, this hurts like a"

Saw your dreams came true

Shoulda held onto you
