She picks the kids up again Then it's off to ballet baseball and then It's home to finish dinner just in time Not a minute to herself And these days her only help Is an oven mitt and a glass of wine She don't have the luxury of dreaming Staring at the stars up in the sky Sometimes she looks out her window And wishes on the cars as they pass by This is not how she thought it would be When she started a family But sometimes a man ain't a man after all And all the plans she made Walked out on them that day And now ten years on she still wonders if he'll call She don't have the luxury of dreaming Staring at the stars up in the sky Sometimes she looks out her window And wishes on the cars as they pass by She picks the kids up again And for a moment she pretends She could drive off into the sun like a movie scene Then it's back to reality And all the places she's got to be It's a brand new day, same old routine She don't have the luxury of dreaming Staring at the stars up in the sky Sometimes she looks out her window And wishes on the cars as they pass by She don't have the luxury of dreaming Staring at the stars up in the sky Sometimes she looks out her window And wishes on the cars as they pass by And wishes on the cars as they pass by
