No Time To Cry - Joe Nichols[00:00:00]
My father died[00:00:09]
A year ago today[00:00:12]
The rooster started crowing[00:00:14]
When they carried dad away[00:00:17]
There beside my mother[00:00:21]
In the livingroom I stood[00:00:24]
With my brother and my sister knowin[00:00:27]
Dad was gone for good[00:00:31]
Then I I hung around just long enough[00:00:33]
To lay him in the ground[00:00:38]
Then I caught a plane to do a show[00:00:41]
Up north in Detroit town[00:00:44]
Because I'm older now[00:00:47]
And I ain't got not time to cry[00:00:52]
I got no time to look back[00:01:01]
I got no time to see[00:01:04]
The pieces of my heart that have been ripped away from me[00:01:08]
And if the feelings start to come in I've learned to stop them fast[00:01:14]
Cuz I don't know if I let em go they might not wanna pass[00:01:21]
And there's just so many people[00:01:27]
Tryin to get me on the phone[00:01:32]
And there's bills to pay and songs to play[00:01:35]
And a house to make a home[00:01:38]
I guess I'm older now[00:01:41]
And I ain't got not time to cry[00:01:46]
I can still remember[00:01:55]
Before I heard of Merle[00:01:59]
So many things have changed[00:02:01]
So much here in my world[00:02:04]
I remember sitting on the front porch[00:02:07]
When an ambulance drove by[00:02:11]
Just listening to those sirens I would break down and cry[00:02:15]
Now I'm walkin and I'm talkin[00:02:21]
Doin just what I'm supposed to do[00:02:25]
Working overtime to make sure I don't come unglued[00:02:29]
Because I'm older now and I ain't got not time to cry[00:02:35]
I sit down on the sofa and I watch the evening news[00:02:48]
The baby that was missing was found in a ditch today[00:03:02]
And there's bombs flying and people dying not so far away[00:03:08]
I'll take a beer from the fridgerator and sit in the yard[00:03:14]
With a cold one in my hand I'm gonna bite down and swallow hard[00:03:22]
Its true[00:03:40]
I'm older now[00:03:42]
Just ain't got not time to cry[00:03:46]
No time to cry[00:03:54]
No time to cry[00:04:02]
