A Grown Man Cries Lyrics

The nurse said

Congratulations, you're a father

I bet you weren't expecting twins

Now they're dressed in blue and pink

At six pounds, three ounces

And then his phone rings, it's his boss

But he answers with a grin

He hears "You've got a raise, no more late nights, and no more windowless office"

Got to go along, soldier on

Through a grown man's eyes

And for sure you know it takes a real tough soul when a grown man tries

When a grown man tries

But when a grown man cries

You forget what you're told, you shatter the mold

You expose those lies

You come down from your throne, the tears you own

And there's no disguise

A grey beard and grandbaby later

His son boarded the big grey ship

Then a letter had come, and junior's navy uniform would be his last outfit

Now daddy and his girl walk down the aisle, and he maintains a firm grip

It's been only two months since they buried his son, since then he's thought to be honest

Got to go along, soldier on

Through a grown man's eyes

And for sure you know it takes a real tough soul when a grown man tries

When a grown man tries

But when a grown man cries

You forget what you're told, you shatter the mold

You expose those lies

You come down from your throne, the tears you own

And there's no disguise

When a grown man cries

You forget what you're told, you shatter the mold

You expose those lies

You come down from the throne, the tears you own

And there's no disguise

When a grown man cries

When a grown man cries

A grown man cries
