GROWN MEN DON'T CRY
(STEVE SESKIN / TOM DOUGLAS)
I pulled into the shopping center
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 O.K.
But I just got back in my suburban and drove away
CHORUS:
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 ten years old and he's holding my hand
We're talking on the front porch watching the sun go down
But it's 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 put a rose on his grave and talk to the wind
REPEAT CHORUS
I'm sitting here with my son and my wife
Everything 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 boy says I haven't had my story yet
And all these things weighing on my mind disappear just like that
When he lifts his head off his pillow and says I love you dad
REPEAT CHORUS
