He stumbles home / while his parents bicker. / They've been too caught up / to smell the liquor / on his clothes / night after night. / He slams the door, / looking for a fight/

He's too young to hold us

All on his shoulders
But he swears when he's older
He'll tell his dad to move on over.

He said,

"Big manly men can't cry

No they ain't aint' got the time
So move on over, Daddy
Shrug your shoulders

Alright"
No they ain't got the time for tears
They ain't got no room for fears so

Move on over, While I
Shrug my shoulders
Alright


Girls can't get close / no, they hit a wall./ A wall sixteen years old / and six feet tall./ He cracks a smile / but you know it's just muscle / and when he's alone / oh, his knees, they buckle /


He's too young to hold us
All on his shoulders
But he swears when he's older

He'll tell his dad to move on over.
He said,


"Big manly men can't cry
No they ain't aint' got the time
So move on over, Daddy

Shrug your shoulders
Alright"


Broken bottles down the hall / bloody knuckles, bedroom wall./ In the mirror still feels small / as if he were a child./ Ghosts in every picture frame / paper targets for the blame / and all his friends say he ain't the same / and it's tears that he fights / when he can't sleep at night.

He's too young to hold us

All on his shoulders
But he swears when he's older
He'll tell his

He'll tell his
He'll tell his
He'll tell his damn dad


"Big manly men can't cry
No they ain't aint' got the time

So move on over, Daddy
Shrug your shoulders
Alright"
