Joe Nichols - No Time To Cry lyrics

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 cuz I don't know if I let em go they might not wanna pa** 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
