I pulled into the shopping center
Am7 C G D Am7 C
And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother
G D
Like ice cream melting they embraced
Am7 C G D Am7 C
Years of bad decisions runnin' down her face
G D Am7
All mornin' I'd been thinkin' my life's so hard
C G D Am7 C
And they wore everything they own, livin' in a car
G D Am7 C
I wanted to tell him it would be okay
G D Am7 C
But I got just got in my suburban and I drove away
G D Am7 C G D Am7 C G
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
D Am7 C G D Am7 C
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
G D
Keep having this dream about my old man
Am7 C G D Am7 C
I'm 10 years old, and he's holding my hand
G D Am7
We're talkin' on the front porch watchin' the sun go down
C G D Am7 C
But it was just a dream he was a slave to his job and he couldn't be around
G D Am7 C
So many things I wanna say to him
G D Am7 C
But I just placed a rose on his grave, and I talked to the wind
G D Am7 C G D Am7 C G
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
D Am7 C G D Am7 C
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry
G D
I'm sittin' here with my kids and my wife
Am7 C G D Am7 C
And everything that I hold dear in my life
G D
We say grace and thank the Lord
Am7 C
Got so much to be thankful for
G D Am7 C
Then it's up the stairs and off to bed and my little girl says
G D Am7 C
"I haven't had my story yet."
G D Am7 C G
Everything weighin' on my mind disappears just like that
D Am7
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says, "I love you Dad"
D Am7 C G D Am7 C G
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
D Am7 C G D Am7 C
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
G D Am7 C G D Am7 C G
And I don't know why they say grown men don't cry
D Am7 C G D Am7 C
I don't know why they say grown men don't cry, don't cry
