Can't Be Too Long Lyrics - Grand Funk Railroad

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 

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 

I guess I'll have to be strong 

The rest of my life can't be too long
