Kelsey Hudgins - Family Business Lyrics

I was riding with my daddy
Coming down Jennings street
And I broke down crying
Harder'n I ever had
I'd held it in for far too long
It'd been a while since I'd been home
I poured out all my pain for him to hear

I said I'm working for you now
Cause I guess I have to
I wanna do something to make
My grandpa proud
Thought that's what he would've done
Wanted to be a better son
I just ain't no damn count at working hard

He held it all together
Just drove around till I felt better
I never told him how much all that meant
There's not much you can say
When a grown man cries in pain
Our rugged hearts don't break no more, just bend

I said I feel like it's my job
To pick up the business
I'm the next in line
And Hell its my last name
I could try all that I want
But I'm the worst at being taught
It was clear that it just wasn't in my stars

I told him that our family'd
Been making music
Long before we started
Fixin' air and heat
So if I picked my guitar
In all the Honky Tonks and bars
I'd inherit the family business after all

He held it all together
Just drove around till I felt better
I never told him how much all that meant
There's not much you can say
When a grown man cries in pain
Our rugged hearts don't break no more just bend

That was just a few days after
I'd lost my granny
Which means that my daddy
Had lost his mom
It was the first time that I'd cried
Since I'd found out that she died
I kept it all locked in good until then

There's a silence when a
Grown man gets done crying
And I'll never know how
Daddy stayed so strong
I'm sure that when we got back home
And he was somewhere all alone
But he never let it show in front of me

He just held it all together
Drove around till I felt better
I never told him how much all that meant
There's not much you can say
When a grown man cries in pain
Our rugged hearts don't break they only bend

He held it all together
Just let me go till I felt better
I never told him how much all that meant
So I'm saying all this now
That I'm so much more than proud
That the good Lord blessed me with a heart like his
