[Verse 1]
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've been thinkin' my life's so hard
And they wore everything they owned, livin' in a car
Wanted to tell 'em it would be okay
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

[Verse 2]
Keep havin' this dream 'bout my old man
I'm ten years old and he's holdin' my hand
Sittin' on the front porch, watchin' thе sun go down
But it's just a dream, he was a slave to his job and hе couldn't be around
So many things I wanna say to him
But I just put a rose on his grave and I talk to the wind

[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
[Verse 3]
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 the pillow and she says
"I love you, Dad"

[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
