[Verse 1]
You know I wear my heart on my sleeve, under a flannel shirt in this factory
Like my daddy did and his dad before
Buldin' trains and planes and weldin' things through every single war
Today some guy from out of town gathered all of us around
Said, "Don't Worry," then turned around and shut the whole damn factory down

[Chorus]
Don't shed no tears, don't show no fear
Just shut your mouth, just drink your beer
Just suck it up, it ain't no thing
This ain't no funeral or football game

[Verse 2]
Later on that afternoon
The whole second shift, yeah we threw back a few
And we talked about what we was gonna say
To all our wives when we got home that day
My boy is four, my girl is two
And they don't care what I do
If the bills get paid or don't
They'll just know the Daddy's home

[Chorus]
Don't shed no tears, don't show no fear
Just shut your mouth, just drink your beer
Just suck it up, it ain't no thing
This ain't no funeral or football game

[Bridge]
The only time you're gonna seem cry
Is when my boy suits up in my old number, the day my mama dies

[Chorus]
Don't shed no tears, don't show no fear
Just shut your mouth, just drink your beer
Just suck it up, it ain't no thing
This ain't no funeral or football game

[Chorus]
Don't shed no tears, don't show no fear
Just shut your mouth, just drink your beer
Just suck it up, it ain't no thing
This ain't no funeral or football game
Funerals or football games
