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 life's so hard
And they wore everything
They owned living in a car
I wanted to tell 'em
It would be OK
But I just got in my suburban
And I drove away

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 keep having this dream
About my old man
I'm 10 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 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

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'm sitting 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
Everything weighing 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
