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 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 OK
But I just got in my suburban and I 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 10 years old and he's holding my hand
We're talking on the front porch watching 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

[Chorus]

I'm sitting 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
Everything weighing on my mind disappears just like that
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says
I love you Dad

[Chorus]
