Lyrics
And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother
Like ice cream melting 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 him it would be ok
But I just got in my suburban and I drove away
But 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 10 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 talk to the wind
But 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
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"
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
