My father died a year ago today[00:00:15]
The rooster started crowing when they carried Dad away[00:00:23]
There beside my mother in the living room I stood[00:00:29]
With my brothers and my sisters knowing Dad was gone for good[00:00:36]
Well I stayed at home just long enough[00:00:43]
To lay him in the ground and then I[00:00:48]
Caught a plane to do a show up north in Detroit town[00:00:52]
Because I'm older now and I've got no time to cry[00:00:58]
I've got no time to look back I've got no time to see[00:01:13]
The pieces of my heart that have been ripped away from me[00:01:21]
And if the feeling starts to coming I've learned to stop 'em fast[00:01:28]
Cause I don't know if I let 'em go they might not wanna pass[00:01:36]
And there's just so many people trying to get me on the phone[00:01:42]
And there's bills to pay and songs to play[00:01:50]
And a house to make a home[00:01:54]
I guess I'm older now and I've got no time to cry[00:01:58]
I can still remember when I was a girl[00:02:14]
But so many things have changed so much here in my world[00:02:21]
I remember sitting on the front yard when an ambulance went by[00:02:27]
And just listening to those sirens I would breakdown and cry[00:02:35]
But now I'm walking and I'm talking[00:02:42]
Doing just what I'm supposed to do[00:02:46]
Working overtime to make sure that I don't come unglued[00:02:50]
I guess I'm older now and I've got no time to cry[00:02:57]
I've got no time to look back I've got no time to see[00:03:12]
The pieces of my heart that have been ripped away from me[00:03:20]
And if the feeling starts to coming I've learned to stop 'em fast[00:03:27]
Cause I don't know if I let 'em gothey might not wanna pass[00:03:34]
And there's just so many people trying to get me on the phone[00:03:41]
And there's bills to pay and songs to play[00:03:49]
And a house to make a home[00:03:53]
I guess I'm older now and I've got no time to cry[00:03:56]
Now I sit down on the sofa and I watch the evening news[00:04:11]
There's a half a dozen tragedies from which to pick and choose[00:04:19]
The baby that was missing was found in a ditch today[00:04:26]
And there's bombs a'flying and people dying not so far away[00:04:33]
And I'll take a beer from the fridgerator[00:04:40]
And go sit out in the yard and with a cold one in my hand[00:04:44]
I'm gonna bite down and swallow hard[00:04:51]
Because I'm older now I've got no time to cry[00:04:55]
I've got no time to look back I've got no time to see[00:05:10]
The pieces of my heart that have been ripped away from me[00:05:18]
And if the feeling starts to coming I've learned to stop 'em fast[00:05:25]
Cause I don't know if I let 'em go they might not wanna pass[00:05:33]
And there's just so many people trying to get me on the phone[00:05:40]
And there's bills to pay and songs to play[00:05:47]
And a house to make a home[00:05:51]
I guess I'm older now and I've got no time to cry[00:05:55]
I guess I'm older now I just ain't got no time to cry[00:06:09]
No time to cry[00:06:24]
No time to cry[00:06:31]
No time to cry[00:06:38]
