Can`t Be Too Long — текст песни (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 ...
