You're running away again, shunning you're best friend
Drinking too much and getting so hard to touch
I'm waiting from dust till dawn, not knowing where you've gone
Someday you'll come home and I won't be there

You're a cross I can't bear
You're a cross I can't bear

Can't you see how you're chained to the life you're living?
That luck's always blamed for the pain you're given?
Can't you see how you claim too many women?
Someday you'll come home and I won't be there

You're a cross I can't bear

Can't you see how you're chained to the life you're living?
That luck's always blamed for the pain you're given?
Can't you see how you claim too many women?
Someday you'll come home and I won't be there

You're a cross I can't bear
Someday you'll come home and I won't be there
You're a cross I can't bear
