We drove all night to get to Corpus Christi 
My parents slept right through 
They never missed me

(We're) travelin' at twice the speed of life 
(Yea, yea, yeah yeah)

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...

She's got a boyfriend of her own 
I heard her sneakin' out with him last night 
And if she's anything like me

We know now it's just a matter of time 
'Til she says...
