John W. Adams - Can't Rub Dirt (On A Broken Heart)

I grew up when times were good
But sometimes they were bad
I got advice the best I could
From the man they called my dad
We'd play catch or watch TV
The best times never last
But in the past
He wiped a tear from off my cheek
Before I even cried
He sat down and spun around
To look me in the eye
Not much to say
When he went away
But almost when he'd gone
He said, "Son"
You can't rub dirt on a broken heart
No need to try, don't even start
Can't walk it off or let it slide
Gotta get back on for another ride
You gotta suck it up, Buttercup
The tough get going when the going gets tough
Some work hard and some work smart
But you can't rub dirt on a broken heart
It's so hard to find the words
When you're angry, lost, and now you hurt
Not much can be said
To put this one to bed
And the thought that counts is often never heard
You can't rub dirt on a broken heart
No need to try, don't even start
You gotta let it slide
You gotta suck it up, Buttercup
The tough get going when the going gets tough
Some work hard and some work smart
But you can't rub dirt on a broken heart
