Grown Men Don't Cry - Midday Sun

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 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 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 10 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
