Grand Funk Railroad - Can’t Be Too Long lyrics

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...
