Joe Nichols - 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 no 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 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 no time to cry
