Single mother sitting in your car
She is trying to gather the cokes you just bought her at the store
Blocking traffic
Life you see is so frantic
You watch her close the door
Only 12 and you still get a tear
Hoping she will be safe out there
You watch her walk up the side of the car
The people behind you think must be angry by far
You dont tell her to hurry or she may get hit by a car
You will take the embarrasement and not say a word
Life as that single mother is hard
Even with people trying to rush you with that child you love
She walks in front of one headlight and you see her fall
You think what to do
Where did she go
Your life just dropped before your eyes
You grab for the door and a stranger runs by
He looks at you
You look at him
He grabs your daughter without thinking of him
Her cokes lay on the ground
She is crying and you see her big frown
The man looks you in the eye
He can see the single mother inside
He sees the last dollars you spent to buy them for her
You wont take charity from a stranger
He tells you one sec
He comes back and says he had two cokes left
How bout we sit here on the curb and watch these passing cars
I just got off work and have nothing planned so far
Your daughter smiles and takes his hand
Come on mommy you havent had a date since daddy passed away
Its time that we sit and talk with this man about our day
Tear comes to your eye
You see sincerity in his big blue eyes
With a smile you say one coke
Then after that with my number you need to hit the road
