This cross I bear, it aint for me
I do my job, its all I have
To give you things I never had
I had my chance in 63
To start my own small company
That's over now, I know its true
For me babe, it aint for you
Listen to the things I say
Don't run and hide, don't turn away
Aint no one knows what you should do
Boy, its too late for me
It aint for you
Son I see youre going far
Out of college, brand new car
Your business is doing well
Your mom and I, were proud as hell
But remember everything I said
He who hesitates is dead
And a simple man with honest means
Is better than a thousand thieves
Listen to the things I say
Don't run and hide, don't turn away
Aint no one knows what you should do
Boy, its too late for me
It aint for you
Hello dad, I know its late
Theres something that just couldn't wait
I'm working seven days a week
I need some time for family
Theres too much work for just one man
So now I'm looking to expand
I did the things you said to do
And now m coming back for you
Listen to the things I say
Don't run and hide, don't turn away
Aint no one knows what you should do
Boy, its too late for me
It aint for you
Hush now baby, can't you see This cross I bear, it aint for me I do my job, its all I have To give you things I never had I had my chance in 63 To start my own small company That's over now, I know its true For me babe, it aint for you Listen to the things I say Don't run and hide, don't turn away Aint no one knows what you should do Boy, its too late for me It aint for you Son I see youre going far Out of college, brand new car Your business is doing well Your mom and I, were proud as hell But remember everything I said He who hesitates is dead And a simple man with honest means Is better than a thousand thieves Listen to the things I say Don't run and hide, don't turn away Aint no one knows what you should do Boy, its too late for me It aint for you Hello dad, I know its late Theres something that just couldn't wait I'm working seven days a week I need some time for family Theres too much work for just one man So now I'm looking to expand I did the things you said to do And now m coming back for you Listen to the things I say Don't run and hide, don't turn away Aint no one knows what you should do Boy, its too late for me It aint for you Explain Request ×
