Then They Do Songtext
von Trace Adkins

In the early rush of mornin′
Tryin' to get the kids to school
One′s hangin' on my shirttail
Another's locked up in her room
And I′m yellin′ up the stairs
"Stop worryin' about your hair, you look fine"

Then they′re fightin' in the backseat
And I′m playin' 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 mornin′
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 startin′ college
She'll be leavin′ 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
Sittin′ 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 mornin'
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 PTA's
No carpools or soccer games
Your work is done
Now you′ve got time that's all your own
You've been waitin′ for so long
For those days to come

Then they do
And that′s how it is
It's just quiet in the mornin′
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, and then they do
