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 Im older now and I aint 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 Ive learned to stop them fast Cause I dont know if I let em go They might not wanna pass And theres just so many people Tryin to get me on the phone And theres bills to pay and songs to play And a house to make a home See Joe Nichols LiveGet tickets as low as 35You might also likeI guess Im older now and I aint 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, Im walkin and Im talkin Doin just what Im supposed to do Working overtime to make sure I dont come unglued Because Im older now and I aint got not time to cry I sit down on the sofa and I watch the evening news Theres a halfadozen tragedies From which to pick and choose The baby that was missing Was found in a ditch today And theres bombs flying And people dying not so far away Ill take a beer from the fridgerator And sit in the yard With a cold one in my hand Im gonna bite down and swallow hard Because Im older now And I aint got not time to cry Its true Im older now Just aint got not time to cry No time to cry No time to cry...
