C G
My father died, a year ago today
AM F
the rooster started crowing as they carried dad away
C AM
There beside my mother in the living room i stood
D7 G
with my brother and my sister knowing Dad was
C
gone for good. Well i stayed around just long
G AM
enough to lay him in the ground, Then i caught a
F
plane to do a show up north in Detroit town
C G
Cause in older now, I aint got no time to cry.
verse 2
C7 F G
Ive got no time to look back and ive got no time
C
to see, The pieces of my heart that have been
F AM
ripped away from me, And when the feelings start
C
to come in, Ive learned to stop'em fast, Cause
D7 G
I dont no if i let'em go they might not want to
C G
pass.And theres so many people trying to get me
AM
on the phone and theres bills to pay and songs
F F
to play and a house to make a home, And im older
G
now,I aint got no time to cry
verse 3
C G
I can still remember, befor there was a MERLE.
AM F
So many things have changed so much here in my
C
world, I remember sitting in the backyard when
AM D7
an ambulance went by, just listening to those
G
sirens, I would break down and cry.. and now Im
C G
walking and Im talking doing just what im
AM F
supposed to do working overtime to make sure i
C G
dont come unglued and Im older now, I aint got no
time to cry.

I go lay down on the sofa and i watch the evening
BM G

D
to pick and choose, The baby that was missing was
BM E
found in a ditch today and theres bombs a flying
A D
people dying not so far away - ill take a beer
A
out of the fridgerator go sit out in the yard
BM G
and with a cold one in my hand im gonna bite down

and swallow hard cause im older now, I aint got
no time to cry.
