I was lucky as a child Mama taught us right from wrong And how Jesus loves us all Though they barely did get by I never saw them cry They said when things get rough You gotta pick yourself up Now, the years have taken me Down a twisted crazy street At times I've drifted off The path that I should walk And Jesus helped me through some hard times My wife and children by my side I'm not perfect by a long mile No matter how I try But I've been blessed enough in my life To make up for any strife If you look closely deep in my eyes You might see a few happy tears From a man who never cries It's hard to let my feelings show The ones I love don't always know Like I'm leadin' my horse blind To a place that I can't find But I know I can't complain I've seen more sun than I have rain When I look at where I've come Who I am and what I've done, oh I know And Jesus helped me through some hard times My wife and children by my side I'm not perfect by a long mile No matter how I try But I've been blessed enough in my life To make up for any strife If you look closely deep in my eyes You might see a few happy tears From a man who never cries Jesus helped me through some hard times My wife and children by my side I'm not perfect by a long mile No matter how I try But I've been blessed enough in my life To make up for any strife If you look closely deep in my eyes You might see a few happy tears From a man who never cries From a man who never cries From a man who never cries

One year like any old other year In a week like any week Monday lying down Half asleep People doing what people do Loving, working and getting through No portraits on the walls Of Seventh Avenue Then Tuesday came and went Like a helicopter overhead The letter that she left Cold addressed in red Tuesday came and went one One September When will she come again The thing about memories They're sure and bound to fade Except for the stolen souls Left upon her blade Is Monday coming back That's what Mondays do They turn and turn around Afraid to see it through Tuesday came and went Like a helicopter overhead The letter that she left Cold addressed in red Tuesday came and went one One September When will she come again Tuesday came and went one One September, when? Cold addressed in red How could I forget Tuesday came and went Like a helicopter overhead Will she come again
