Hush now baby, can’t you see
|
This cross I bear, it ain’t for me
|
I do my job, it’s 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 it’s true
|
For me babe, it ain’t for you
|
|
Listen to the things I say
|
Don’t run and hide, don’t turn away
|
Ain’t no one knows what you should do
|
Boy, it’s too late for me
|
It ain’t for you
|
|
Son I see you’re going far
|
Out of college, brand new car
|
Your business is doing well
|
Your mom and I, we’re 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
|
Ain’t no one knows what you should do
|
Boy, it’s too late for me
|
It ain’t for you
|
|
Hello dad, I know it’s late
|
There’s something that just couldn’t wait
|
I’m working seven days a week
|
I need some time for family
|
|
There’s 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
|
Ain’t no one knows what you should do
|
Boy, it’s too late for me
|
It ain’t for you
|
