9.It's Not My Cross To Bear (Live)

Lyricist:Gregory Allman

Well I have not come, oh to testify
About our bad, bad misfortune and I ain't here a wond'rin' why
But I'll live on and I'll be strong 'cause it just ain't my
cross to bear

I sat down, wrote you a long letter, oh seemed just like the
other day
Said, sure as the sunrise, baby, tomorrow I'll be up and on my
way
I'll live on and I'll try to be strong 'cause it just ain't my
cross to bear

Yeah, but I'll live on, yeah I'll be strong, just ain't my cross
to bear
Yeah, my baby

But in the end baby, long towards the end of your road
Don't reach out for me, babe, 'cause I'm not gonna carry your
load
I'll live on baby, try to be strong, just ain't my cross to
bear, baby
Oh I know
