It` Ain`t For You — текст песни (The Badlees)

(Alexander)

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
