[G]I pulled into the [D]shopping center
And [Am]saw a little boy [C]wrapped around the [G]legs of his [D]mother [Am] [C]
Like [G]ice cream melting [D]they embraced
[Am]Years of bad de[C]cisions running [G]down her [D]face  [Am]  [C]
All [G]morning I'd been [D]thinking my life's [Am]so hard
And [C]they wore everything [G]they owned liv[D]ing in a car  [Am]  [C]
I [G]wanted to [D]tell 'em it would [Am]be o[C]kay
But I just [G]got in my [D]Suburban and I [Am]drove a[C]way

CHORUS:
[G]   [D]I don't know [Am]why they say [C]grown men don't [G]cry  [D] [Am]  [C] (x2)

I keep [G]having this dream a[D]bout my old man
I'm [Am]10 years old and he's [C]holding my [G]hand  [D]  [Am]  [C]
We're [G]talking on the [D]front porch watching the [Am]sun go down
But it was [C]just a dream he was a [G]slave to his job
And he [D]couldn't be a[Am]round  [C]
So [G]many [D]things I want to [Am]say to [C]him
But I just [G]placed a [D]rose on his grave and I [Am]talked to the [C]wind

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL

I'm [G]sitting here with my [D]kids and my wife
And [Am]everything that I hold [C]dear in my [G]life [D] [Am] [C]
[G]We say grace and [D]thank the lord
Got [Am]so much to be [C]thankful for
Then it's [G] up the [D]stairs and off to [Am]bed 
and my little [C]girl says "I haven't had my story yet"
And everything weighing on my mind disappears just like that
When she lifts her head off her pillow and says "I love you Dad"

CHORUS (x2)
