Intro: (x2)
I pulled into the shopping center
And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother
Like ice cream melting they embraced
Years of bad decisions running down her face
All morning I'd been thinking my lifes's so hard
And they wore everthing they own, living in a car
I wanted to tell him it would be okay
But I just got in my suburban and I drove away
Chorus:
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
Keep having this dream about my old man
I'm ten years old, and he's holding my hand
We're talking on the front porch watching the sun go down
But it was just a dream he was a slave to his job and couldn't be around
So many things I wanna say to him
But I just placed a rose on his grave, and I talked to the wind
Chorus:
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry
Instramental:
I'm sitting here with my kids and my wife
And everything that I hold dear in my life
We say grace and we thank the lord
Got so much to be thankful for
Then it's up the stairs and off to bed and my little girl says
I haven't had my story yet
Everything weighing on my mind dissapears just like that
(Strummed once)
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says...I love you dad
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry
OUTRO: (x3) End on
