Tomorrow I'll be up and on my way
But I'll live on and I'll be strong
Said, sure as the sunrise, baby
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear
But I'll live on, I'll be strong
Long towards the end of your road
But I'll live on and I'll be strong
'Cause I'm not gonna carry your load
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear, oh no
But in the end, baby
Don't reach out for me, babe
It was just the other day
I have not come, yeah, to testify
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear, it's not baby
And I ain't here a wonderin' why
About our bad, bad misfortune
Oh but I'll live on, I'll be strong
I sat down and wrote you a long letter
