[Verse 1]
It seems like yesterday we were cuttin' up in class
No worries in the world 'cept chasin' girls and burnin' gas
Then one day you wake up, you're tossin' up them caps
Don't it seem like the good times go by too fast?

[Chorus]
Yeah, I wish time would tick a little slower
Sometimes it feels like I blink and then it's over
Better soak it in, better make it last
Live it up while we can 'cause the good times go by too fast

[Verse 2]
It feels like yesterday I walked in that bar
Wasn't lookin' for nothin', now look where we are
We're watchin' our kids growin' up in a flash
Don't it feel like the good times go by too fast?

[Chorus]
Yeah, I wish time would tick a little slower
Sometimes it feels like I blink and then it's over
Better soak it in, better make it last
Live it up while we can 'cause the good times go by too fast

[Bridge]
Before you know it, your baby's havin' babies
You're twenty-one, close your eyes, then you're eighty
So laugh every laugh like it's your last
'Cause you can't get 'em back, the good times go by too fast
[Chorus]
Yeah, I wish time would tick a little slower
Sometimes it feels like I blink and then it's over
Better soak it in, better make it last
Live it up while we can 'cause the good times go by too fast

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, the good times go by too fast
Oh, the good times go by too fast
