She Didn't Have Time Lyrics - Life Goes On - Terri Clark

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
