Lyrics: Can't Be Too Long

Ahhhhh...
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh...
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
Ahhhhh...
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh...
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 that evening comes
Ahhhhh...
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh...
I guess I'll have to be strong
The rest of my life can't be too long
Ahhhhh...
Ah, Ah, Ahhhhh...
