My Cross To Bear

歌詞

Jeremiah came down from the mountain With a suitcase and staff Opened a car wash outside of Detroit And it closed in a month and a half Everyone says it was bad luck But I think there was something more there Jeremiah says it always goes down like that But it's just my cross to bear Mine has been a slide of biblical proportion and size Like the fall of Babylon but only half as nice Sylvia walked like a leper On steroids and diet pills She was my Neil Young And I was her Stephen Stills You may have imagined the ending But it caught me unawares They say I don't mix well with others But it's just my cross to bear (CH) There's a place by San Vicente Where we all congregate The rum and coke is a buck and a half And the bar stays open late Sometimes I get drunk, sometimes I get ruined Either way I don't care I should be taking names and numbers But it's just my cross to bear.
