It' Ain't For You

(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
