Practice Life

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

She just noticed

Her first touch of grey

She don't want to wait

Not one more day

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

I'm a'comin' home"

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

So much to do

With so little time

That clock on the wall's

It ain't no practice life

We only get one shot

And our love ain't through, hey

It's all we've got

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

Hey, yeah, hey, hey
