Can`t Be Too Long

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 ...
