Ain't Allowed to be Sad

by Pawns or Kings

/

about

A song about how hard it is for a man to express his sadness in a world that doesn't wait for him, there is always more work to be done or you'll find yourself drowning. No time to stop, have to keep on going.

lyrics

Oh a man aint allowed to be sad
No a man aint allowed to be sad
Well they love you when youre happy,
And hate you when you’re mad
But no a man aint allowed to be sad

Banjo and harmonica break

Im gonna have to carry you awhile
What I would give for just one smile,
But there is no time for that
Cuz we still have a few more miles
Oh Im gonna have to carry you awhile

Chorus

Oh the world wont wait for us at all
It don’t care if your engine has stalled
Better push rest of the way
Cuz youre still on call
Oh the world wont wait for us at all

Chorus

I gotta dig this grave all by myself
Don’t expect that anyone shall help,
The shovels snapping in my hands,
Life just ended with a yelp
Oh I gotta dig this grave all by myself

harmonic

I dont know how to say goodbye
Dont know if I should even try
It doesnt matter to them,
Guess I’ll just pretend Im fine,
I just don’t know how to say goodbye

chorus
