Don't Cry

Hearing the screams of my mother yell Looking at dad grab his leather belt Holding the tears back in my eyes 'Cause he told me that men don't cry Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry Men don't cry, don't cry, don't cry Standing up straight and doing as I'm told Ringing in my ears all controlled I look like a girl, so he's cutting my hair I got to make sure I don't embarrass him here Don't cry, don't cry, don't cry Men don't cry, don't cry, don't cry I patiently waited 'til I turned 18 Then bought a gun and put my daddy to sleep Watching the tears roll from his eyes Whispered to him that men don't cry Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight Goodnight
