No Time To Cry |
| My father died |
| A year ago today |
| The rooster started crowing |
| When they carried dad away |
| There beside my mother |
| In the livingroom, I stood |
| With my brother and my sister |
| Knowin' dad was gone for good |
| Then I, I hung around |
| Just long enough to lay him in the ground |
| Then I caught a plane to do a show |
| Up north in Detroit town |
| Because I’m older now and I ain’t got not time to cry |
| I got no time to look back, I got no time to see |
| The pieces of my heart |
| That have been ripped away from me |
| And if the feelings start to come in |
| I’ve learned to stop them fast |
| 'Cause I don’t know if I let em go |
| They might not wanna pass |
| And there’s just so many people |
| Tryin to get me on the phone |
| And there’s bills to pay and songs to play |
| And a house to make a home |
| I guess I’m older now and I ain’t got not time to cry |
| I can still remember before I heard of Merle |
| So many things have changed |
| So much here in my world |
| I remember sitting on the front porch |
| When an ambulance drove by |
| Just listening to those sirens |
| I would break down and cry |
| Now, I’m walkin' and I’m talkin' |
| Doin' just what I’m supposed to do |
| Working overtime to make sure |
| I don’t come unglued |
| Because I’m older now and I ain’t got not time to cry |
| I sit down on the sofa and I watch the evening news |
| There’s a half-a-dozen tragedies |
| From which to pick and choose |
| The baby that was missing |
| Was found in a ditch today |
| And there’s bombs flying |
| And people dying not so far away |
| I’ll take a beer from the fridgerator |
| And sit in the yard |
| With a cold one in my hand |
| I’m gonna bite down and swallow hard |
| Because I’m older now |
| And I ain’t got not time to cry |
| Its true |
| I’m older now |
| Just ain’t got not time to cry |
| No time to cry |
| No time to cry… |
