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 I`m older now and I ain`t 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
I`ve learned to stop them fast
`Cause I don`t know if I let em go
They might not wanna pass.
And there`s just so many people
Tryin to get me on the phone
And there`s bills to pay and songs to play
And a house to make a home.
I guess I`m older now and I ain`t 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, I`m walkin` and I`m talkin`
Doin` just what I`m supposed to do
Working overtime to make sure
I don`t come unglued.
Because I`m older now and I ain`t got not time to cry
I sit down on the sofa and I watch the evening news
There`s a half-a-dozen tragedies
From which to pick and choose.
The baby that was missing
Was found in a ditch today
And there`s bombs flying
And people dying not so far away.
I`ll take a beer from the fridgerator
And sit in the yard
With a cold one in my hand
I`m gonna bite down and swallow hard.
Because I`m older now
And I ain`t got not time to cry.
