Grown Men Don't Cry - Tim McGraw

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 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 got 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
