[Verse 1]

You know I wear my heart on my sleeve, under a flannel shirt in this factory

Like my daddy did and his dad before

Buldin' trains and planes and weldin' things through every single war

Today some guy from out of town gathered all of us around

Said, "Don't Worry," then turned around and shut the whole damn factory down

[Chorus]

Don't shed no tears, don't show no fear

Just shut your mouth, just drink your beer

Just suck it up, it ain't no thing

This ain't no funeral or football game

[Verse 2]

Later on that afternoon

The whole second shift, yeah we threw back a few

And we talked about what we was gonna say

To all our wives when we got home that day

My boy is four, my girl is two

And they don't care what I do

If the bills get paid or don't

They'll just know the Daddy's home

[Chorus]

Don't shed no tears, don't show no fear

Just shut your mouth, just drink your beer

Just suck it up, it ain't no thing

This ain't no funeral or football game

[Bridge]

The only time you're gonna seem cry

Is when my boy suits up in my old number, the day my mama dies

[Chorus]

Don't shed no tears, don't show no fear

Just shut your mouth, just drink your beer

Just suck it up, it ain't no thing

This ain't no funeral or football game

[Chorus]

Don't shed no tears, don't show no fear

Just shut your mouth, just drink your beer

Just suck it up, it ain't no thing

This ain't no funeral or football game

Funerals or football games
