Then They Do Lyrics - Trace Adkins

In the early rush of morning 

Trying to get the kids to school 

One's hangin' on my shirt tail 

The other's locked up in her room 

And I'm yellin' up the stairs 

"Stop worrying about your hair, you look fine" 

Then they're fightin' in the back seat 

And I'm playing referee 

Now someone's gotta go 

The moment that we leave 

And everybody's late 

I swear I can't wait 'til they grow up 

Then they do 

And that's how it is 

It's just quiet in the morning 

Can't believe how much you miss 

All they do 

And all they did 

You want all the dreams they've dreamed of to come true 

Then they do 

Now the youngest is starting college 

She'll be leaving in the fall 

And Brianna's latest boyfriend 

Called to ask if we could talk 

And I've got the impression 

That he's about the pop the question any day 

I look over at their pictures 

Sittin' in their frames 

I see them as babies 

I guess that'll never change 

You pray all their lives 

That someday they will find happiness 

Then they do 

And that's how it is 

It's just quiet in the morning 

Can't believe how much you miss 

All they do 

And all they did 

You want all the dreams they've dreamed of to come true 

Then they do 

No more Monday PTAs 

No more carpools or soccer games 

Your work is done 

Now you've got time that's all your own 

You've been waiting for so long 

For those days to come 

Then they do 

And that's how it is 

It's just quiet in the morning 

Can't believe how much you miss 

All they do 

And all they did 

You want all the dreams they've dreamed of to come true 

Then they do 

Oh, and then they do
