It Aint For You lyrics

(Alexander)

Hush now baby, cant 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
Thats over now, I know its true
For me babe, it aint for you

Listen to the things I say
Dont run and hide, dont 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
Dont run and hide, dont 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 couldnt wait
Im working seven days a week
I need some time for family

Theres too much work for just one man
So now Im looking to expand
I did the things you said to do
And now m coming back for you

Listen to the things I say
Dont run and hide, dont turn away
Aint no one knows what you should do
Boy, its too late for me
It aint for you
