Badlees - It' Ain't For You lyrics

(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
