G
She's got three kids, no husband
C G
And she's two weeks late on last months rent
G
She's waiting on the child support
And he keeps swearing that it's coming
C G
But if she knows him, she knows where it went
D C G
And that pile of bills ain't gonna pay themselves
VERSE:
G
It's been a forty hour week and it's only Tuesday
C G
And there's homework and dinner to make
G
Somebody wants a lullaby
Somebody wants a different channel
C G
Somebody's dealing with their first heartbreak
D C G
And the dishes in the sink ain't gonna wash themselves
BREAK:
C G
She lights a cigarette out on the balcony
Em C
When she gets a couple minutes to herself
C G
There's how you planned it out and how it turns out to be
Em C
And a broken home, it ain't no fairytale
VERSE:
G
She's got three kids, no husband
C G
And a hairnet job at a diner on Main
G
She knows damn well she don't make the best cup of coffee
C G
But she's quick with a smile and good with names
D C G
Those lunch tickets ain't gonna tip themselves
BREAK:
C G
She smokes a cigarette out by the loading dock
Em C
And tries not to pick the polish off her nails
C G
She thinks about a guy who's been coming in a lot
Em C
She starts to dream and then she stops herself
VERSE:
G
She's got three kids, no husband
C
So she's a mom and a dad and a taxi driver
(G)
When the baby's sick, she's an up all nighter
(C)
A hand and a shoulder and a referee
(G)
A real life hero if you ask me
D C G
Cause those kids ain't gonna raise themselves
