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
