Can’t Be Too Long

Lyrics

Ahhh ... Ahhh ... Ah, Ah, Ahhh ... Ahhh ... The heat of a summer day, poundin' down on my back Work like a dog in the sunlight, tryin' to pay the people back I killed a man in the spring time; Had to work hard just to make a dime To buy my baby the things that she needs I guess I didn't think twice, and now I have to pay the price For killing a man of another creed Ahhh ... Ahhh ... Ah, Ah, Ahhh ... Ahhh ... I guess I'll have to be strong, the rest of my life can't be too long I know I'll die some day, and be going far away And you won't remember the things that I've done I feel a shedding tear, it's only been a year But I know I'll be dead when the evening comes Ahhh ... Ahhh ... Ah, Ah, Ahhh ... Ahhh ... I guess I'll have to be strong, the rest of my life can't be too long Ahhh ... Ahhh ... Ah, Ah, Ahhh ... Ahhh ...
