What it is

"You're Gonna Miss This" is a country ballad recorded by Trace Adkins and written by Ashley Gorley and Lee Thomas Miller, released as the second single from American Man: Greatest Hits Volume II. Each verse follows an unnamed woman at a different stage of life: as a schoolgirl impatient to grow up, as a young adult in her first apartment, and as a mother with noisy children, talking with a plumber.
