Lyrics When I Cross Over - Tift Merritt

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
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 thinkin' about it
All those streets I’ve never seen
Nobody asking me for nothing
Nobody angry with me
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
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
When I’m where I’m going
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
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
