Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He keeps a socket wrench beside the bed
And a list of every bill he hasn’t paid
His father taught him how to bow his head
But not what to do with all the hurt he saved
[Pre-Chorus]
So he backs the truck into the gravel
Lets the engine idle low
There’s a letter from his brother
That he’s carried ten years too long
[Chorus]
A man can cry, let the river run
It doesn’t mean the fight is done
It means he loved, it means he lost
It means he knows what mattered most
Let the whole damn sky come down tonight
There’s no shame in needing someone’s light
A man can cry, and still stand tall
Still be the one who catches us all
[Verse 2]
He sees her coffee cup beside the sink
The blue one with the chipped-up handle
He says her name before he starts to think
Then folds beneath the kitchen candle
[Pre-Chorus]
His little boy is in the doorway
Holding tight to his pajama sleeve
He kneels down and says, “Come here, son”
There’s no stronger thing to be
[Chorus]
A man can cry, let the river run
It doesn’t mean the fight is done
It means he loved, it means he lost
It means he knows what mattered most
Let the whole damn sky come down tonight
There’s no shame in needing someone’s light
A man can cry, and still stand tall
Still be the one who catches us all
[Bridge]
The dirt won’t judge him, the church won’t know
The moon just hangs above the fence-row
Tomorrow he’ll rise, put his boots on slow
But tonight he’s human, and that’s enough to show
[Final Chorus]
A man can cry, let the river run
It doesn’t mean the fight is done
It means he loved, it means he lost
It means he knows what mattered most
Let the whole damn sky come down tonight
There’s no shame in needing someone’s light
A man can cry, and still stand tall
Still be the one who catches us all
[Outro]
A man can cry
And still stand tall
