I Never Saw Him Cry

Well, my daddy left when my mama died

He retreated to somewhere deep inside

And I loved him

I never left his side, but I never saw him cry

He took all the hurt, he took all the pain

And he drowned it all in whiskey rain

And I loved him

No, I never cursed his name

But I never saw him cry

Oh, I wanted him to just let go

To be a man

To lose control

But instead he left without saying goodbye

And I never saw him cry

Yeah I wanted him to just let go

To be a man, to lose control

But instead he just left without saying goodbye

And I never saw him cry

Now my daddy's dead

Buried next to mom

And I visit them

With my only son

He brings flowers

And though he may never know them

He sees his daddy cry
