Gregg Allman Band It's Not My Cross To Bear with Lyrics in Description

Details

Description

Track 10 from his third studio album, “I’m No Angel” copyright 1987 Epic Records. A comeback of sorts, released five years after the ABB had disbanded for a second time, this album had a more pop-rock sound. The title song was a radio hit and its video became very popular on MTV. The album achieved Gold status in 1990. Solid writing and a laid-back feel from a band of exceptional musicians makes it one of my favorites. Second only to his next album, “Just Before The Bullets Fly”, also on my channel. Written by Gregg Allman and produced by Rodney Mills.

I have not come yeah, to testify
About our bad, bad misfortune
And I ain't here a-wonderin' why
But I'll live on, and I'll be strong
'Cause it just ain't my cross to bear

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

Oh, Lord, but I'll live on, and I'll be strong
It just ain't my cross to bear

But in the end baby, on towards the end of your road
Don't reach out for me baby
I'm not goin' to carry your load
But I'll live on, and I'll be strong
It just ain't my cross to bear
