My Cross To Bear Lyrics & Chords By Smack Dab

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.
