Grown Men Don't Cry

I pulled into the shopping centre
 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 ten 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
