To Many Crosses To Bear

Words by Elvis
[Verse 1]
I been runnin’ from ghosts down a two-lane road,
Whiskey in my blood and a heavy load,
Every scar on my skin’s another prayer,
But I got too many crosses to bear.
Mama said, “Son, you can’t outrun sin,”
But the devil keeps ridin’ shotgun again,
He’s laughin’ while I curse the air,
’Cause I got too many crosses to bear.
[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m a sinner in denim, a drifter in chains,
Prayin’ for mercy in a life full of pain,
God knows I’ve tried, but hell don’t care—
I got too many crosses to bear.
[Verse 2]
The church bells ring but they don’t sound right,
Echo off the hills in the dead of night,
I light up smoke, breathe in despair,
’Cause I got too many crosses to bear.
Every friend I lost, every love gone cold,
Just another story that’ll never be told,
I walk that line, but it’s thin as prayer,
With too many crosses to bear.
[Chorus]
Yeah, I’m a sinner in denim, a drifter in chains,
Prayin’ for mercy in a life full of pain,
God knows I’ve tried, but hell don’t care—
I got too many crosses to bear.
[Bridge]
One for the whiskey, one for the pain,
One for the nights I stood in the rain,
If redemption’s real, it’s damn sure rare,
For a man with too many crosses to bear.
[Outro / Final Chorus]
Yeah, I’m a sinner in denim, a drifter in chains,
Livin’ half crazy, ridin’ through flames,
If heaven’s up high, I’ll meet ya there—
When I lay down these crosses I bear.
Yeah… when I lay down these crosses I bear.

Good lyric and came out well! Like it a lot. My only suggestion would be in the chorus, I think
Prayin’ for mercy but hell don’t care
might sound better, but you'd need to find an alternate line 2 then as well.
