He said goodbye from the edge of the porch

Like she'd been some casual friend

He said "You're better off without 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 anytime 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

Evenin survival and 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 years 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 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

That got her tire fixed

She was thinking "Gosh he's handsome"

When he asked

"Do you have kids "

She could've lied but she didn't 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 givin destiny its 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
