I PULLED INTO
THE SHOPPIN' CENTER
AND SAW A LITTLE BOY
WRAPPED AROUND
THE LEGS OF HIS MOTHER
LIKE ICE CREAM MELTIN'
THEY EMBRACED
YEARS OF BAD
DECISIONS
RUNNIN' DOWN
HER FACE
ALL MORNIN'
I'D BEEN THINKIN'
MY LIFE'S SO HARD
AND THEY WORE
EVERYTHING THEY OWN
LIVIN' IN A CAR
I WANTED TO TELL 'EM
IT WOULD BE OKAY
BUT I JUST
GOT IN MY SUBURBAN
AND I
I DROVE AWAY
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 TALKIN' ON THE
FRONT PORCH WATCHIN'
THE SUN GO DOWN BUT
IT WAS JUST A DREAM
HE WAS A SLAVE TO HIS
JOB AND HE 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
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
8 BAR
INSTRUMENTAL
BREAK
I'M SITTIN' HERE WITH
MY KIDS AND MY WIFE
AND EVERYTHING
THAT I HOLD DEAR
IN MY LIFE
WE SAY GRACE
AND 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
AND EVERYTHING
WEIGHIN' ON MY MIND
DISAPPEARS
JUST LIKE THAT
WHEN SHE LIFTS HER HEAD
OFF HER PILLOW AND SAYS
I LOVE YOU DAD
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
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
