“Next Thing You Know” Lyrics:
Swear that you’re staying single next thing you know
You meet a girl at a bar and next thing you know
You get her laughin’, its two a.m.
You’re tellin your buddies three months in
That she ain’t moving in but next thing you know
There’s a Uhaul trailer next thing you know
Your old apartment is y’all’s new place
There goes the carpet but the deer head stays
Next thing you know saving money like never before
Just to spend it all at a jewelry store
Getting down on one knee on her momma’s porch Just pray she don’t say no
Next thing you know your best man gives a half drunk speech
And your sunburn on a honeymoon beach
And your left hand is getting used to that ring
There the next two or three years ago
Next thing you know
Weren’t really trying next thing you know
There’s a test on the counter next thing you know
She’s standing there crying nodding her head yes
Your half excited half scared to death
Cause next thing you know
You’re wearing scrubs and a funny white hat
And the doctor’s sayin how you doing there dad and
Nobody’s ever called you that
And you take the drive home slow
Next thing you know its first steps, first date, first car
Its 11:01 wondering where they are
You sayin’ that USC’s too far
Its amazing how fast seventeen years go
Next thing you know, Next thing you know
Next thing you know you get to know your wife again
And you’re more in love than you’ve ever been
With a lot of years of remember whens and still some down the road
‘Cause next thing you know you got a yard full of your kids’ kids
And you take them to church, teach em to fish and ya
Tell them stories every chance you get
‘Bout how fast this life down here can go
Next thing you know, Next thing you know

Audio / Jordan Davis talks about writing his two-week No. 1 smash, "Next Thing You Know."
DownloadJordan Davis (writing Next Thing You Know) OC: …song is today. :59
“There’s a saying that says ‘raising kids – the days are long, the years are short,’ and that’s what this song is to me. I kind of came in wanting to write something like that, you know kind of a slow down time song, and Greylan had this idea. The idea initially was about going to a bar or going somewhere and meeting somebody and then just the progression of a relationship. I kind of hijacked the title and said, ‘Hey man. I love that title, but we’re going to write it in the sense of having kids, watching ‘em grow up and hopefully becoming a grandparent, you know? Chase McGill and Josh Osborne both have kiddos, and I think they kind of grabbed on it. Greylan, hats off to him. He’s the single kid of the group, so he was like, ‘Man, I’ll go there. I don’t know how much input I can be able to say in this, but I’ll go there with you.’ I mean, he’s a great writer, and it was fun to kind of see the title that he threw out evolve into what the song is today.”
