Intro

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

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
