Karaoké She Didn't Have Time Terri Clark

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 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

Givin' misery the power but she didn't have time

She got a sitter and she got a job

'Cos she had a promise to keep

Her day was a factory an' evenin' survival

At night was exhaustion and sleep

Sometimes she felt life was passin' 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 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 to just have coffee with the man who got her tire fixed

She was thinkin'

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 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
