She said she didn't love him
And maybe she never really did
She could move back to her mamas
And they could split time with the kids
This ain't no practice life, we only get one shot
And our love ain't through, hey, it's all we've got
And nobody goes around twice
'Cause this ain't no practice life
There's sixty hours on his time card
And it's only Thursday night
His kids are growin' up without him
And he's about to lose his wife
So he puts down the papers
And he picks up the phone
And says, "Son, tell your Mama
It ain't no practice life, we only get one shot
And our love ain't through, hey, it's all we've got
And nobody goes around twice
'Cause this ain't no practice life, no
It ain't no practice life
And our love ain't through, hey
No, it ain't no practice life, we only get one shot
And our love ain't through, hey, it's all we've got
And nobody goes around twice
'Cause this ain't no practice life
This ain't no practice life
Yeah, it ain't no practice life, no
