[Intro]
[Verse]
Sheâs got three kids and no husband
Sheâs two weeks late on last monthâs rent
Sheâs waiting on child support, he keeps swearing that itâs coming
But if she knows him, she knows where it went
And those bills ainât gonna pay themselves
[Verse]
Itâs been a forty hour week and itâs only Tuesday
And thereâs homework and dinner to make
And somebody wants a lullaby, somebody wants a different channel
Somebodyâs dealing with their first heartbreak
Those dishes in the sink ainât gonna wash themselves
[Bridge]
She lights a cigarette out on the balcony
When she gets a couple minutes to herself
Thereâs how you plan it out and how it turns out to be
And a broken home ainât no fairytale
[Verse]
Sheâs got three kids and no husband
And a hairnet job at a diner down on Main
She knows damn well she donât make the best cup of coffee
But sheâs quick with a smile and she s good at names
But those lunch tickets ainât gonna tip themselves
[Bridge]
She smokes a cigarette out by the loading dock
And tries not to pick the polish off her nails
Sheâs thinking about a guy whoâs been coming in a lot
She starts to dream and then she stops herself
[Verse]
Sheâs got three kids and no husband
Sheâs a mom and a dad and a taxi driver
When the babyâs sick sheâs an up-all-nighter
A hand and a shoulder and a referee
A real life hero, if you ask me
And those kids ainât gonna raise themselves
