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 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 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
