Can't Be Too Long - Grand Funk Railroad

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 …
