She Didn't Have Time

He said goodbye from the edge of the porch Like she'd been some casual friend He said "your better off with out me I'm not what you need" Like her momma had said about him He started the car Pulled out of the drive Didn't waste any time lookin' back She watched him go Thinkin' even a stranger Would show more compassion than that She could've cried but she didn't have time She had a baby to feed A pink blanket to find To rock their little one to sleep She could've laid in bed for hours Giving misery the power But she didn't have time She got a sitter, and she got a job 'Cause she had a promise to keep Her day was a factory and evening survival At night was exhaustion and sleep Sometimes she felt life was passing her by And watching was all she could do Her friends said "you gotta get outta the house And maybe you'll meet someone new" She could've tried But she didn't have time She had a five year old to feed She had ballet class, piano lessons And t-ball little league She could've laid awake for hours Giving lonely nights the power But she didn't have the time Not time where would she find the time To trust a man again Not time for that flat tire A crowded parking lot and then Not time but yes have coffee with the man Who got her tired fixed She was thinking gosh he's handsome When he asked do you have kids She could've lied But she didnt have time All she said was "she's five" He said "i saw the car seat I love kids Does she have your eyes?" And they sat and talked for hours Giving destiny it's power She could've been afraid To fall in love that night But she didn't have time She could've been afraid To fall in love that night But she didn't have time
