PRACTICE LIFE

She said she didn't love him,

And maybe she never really did

She could move back to her mommas

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

He says: "Son, tell your Momma: 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

So much to do, with so little time

That clock on the wall's gonna rob us half-blind

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

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
