When I Cross Over
I don’t want to talk to nobody.
Don’t want to make no plans.
I’m so tired of this party.
I’ve had all my laughs.
Chorus:
I’ll send you something when I cross over,
Something when I cross over.
I’ll send you something when I cross over,
When I’m where I’m going.
I get in a good mood just thinking ‘bout it,
All of those streets I’ve never seen.
Nobody asking me for nothing.
Nobody angry with me.
Chorus
Not even gonna take my Pontiac.
What do I need it for?
Not gonna run away from nothing.
I won’t be tangled up no more.
I’ll send you something when I cross over,
Something when I cross over.
I’ll send you something when I cross over.
Seems like a woman in the morning oughta have nothing to worry about.
Sit down and have a cup of coffee, hum a little while, think out loud.
I’m not gonna hang up any pictures.
No numbers taped to the wall.
Suitcase gonna get a little lighter,
I’m gonna unpack all alone.
Chorus
