He said goodbye from the edge of the porch
Like she'd been some casual friend
He said "your better off without me" 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
[Chorus:]
She could've cried but she didn't have time
She had a baby to feed a pink blanket to find, to rock thier little one to sleep
She couldve laid in bed for hours giving misery the power
But she didnt 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 bye and watchin was all she could do
Her friends said you gotta get outta the house and maybe youll meet someone new
[Chorus:]
She couldve tried but she didn't have time
She had a five year old to feel she had ballet class piano lessons and tball little league
She couldve laid awake for hours givin lonely nights the power
But she didn't have time
No time, where would she find the time to trust a man again
No time, for that flat tire, a crowded parking lot and then,
No time, but yes have coffe with the man that got her tire fixed
She was thinking gosh hes handsome
When he asked
Do you have kids?
She couldve lied but she didn't have time all she said was shes 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 couldve been afraid to fall in love that night
But she didn't have time
She couldve been afraid to fall in love that night
But she didn't have time
