Then They Do Songtext
von Trace Adkins

In the early rush of morning
Trying to get the kids to school
One′s hanging on my shirttail
Another's locked up in her room
And I′m yelling up the stairs
Stop worrying about your hair
You look fine

Then they're fighting in the backseat
And I'm playing referee
Now someone′s gotta go
The moment that we leave
And everybody′s late
I swear that I can't wait
Till 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 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 got the impression
That he's about to pop the question
Any day

I look over at their pictures
Sitting in their frames
I see them as babies
I guess that'll never change
You pray all their lives
That some day 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 dreamed of to come true
Then they do

No more Monday PTAs
No 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 dreamed of to come true
Then they do
Oh, then they do
