I pulled into the shoppin' center
And saw a little boy wrapped around the legs of his mother
Like ice cream meltin' 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 owned, livin' in a car
I wanted to tell 'em it would be okay
But I just got in my Suburban and I - I drove away
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 havin' this dream about my old man
I'm ten years old and he's holdin' 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 talked to the wind
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
(Guitar solo)
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"
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
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
