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   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      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
