Lyrics
I was only eight years old; just an ordinary kid.
I came home crying over something someone did.
Daddy ran his fingers through my hair
Then sat beside me in that big ole chair; and he said:
Chorus:
A man aint supposed to cry
Supposed to keep it deep inside
It's an unwritten rule, but everybody knows it
A man aint supposed to cry
Supposed to hold his head up high
Full of strength and full of pride; and not show it
A man aint supposed to cry.
Verse:
Daddy he was strong; to the day he passed away
A soldier's burial. Big guns; a big parade
And as his friends and family gathered round
The tears began to fall, but I stood proud. Because:
Chorus
Bridge:
And now girl you say you're leavin
What's that on my face? It must be some mistake. Because:
Chorus
