She said she didn't love him, and maybe she never really did
C                                 F C
She could move back to her momma's, and they could split time with the kids
F                      G
She just noticed, her first touch of grey
     F                       G
She don't want to wait, not one more day


Chorus:
               C           G F
This ain't no practice life
         C          G F
We only get one shot
                    C         G F
And our love ain't throw aw---ay

There's sixty hours on his time card, and it's only Thursday night
C                                  F C
His kids are growin' up without him, and he's about to lose his wife
      F                              G
So he puts down the papers, and he picks up the phone
            F                   G
And says, "Son tell your momma, I'm a'comin' home"

Am                 G
So much to do with so little time

That clock on the wall is gonna rob us all blind
