[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
From a man who never cries
From a man who never cries
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Chorus]
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
From a man who never cries
From a man who never cries
