Aaaaaahhhh
The heat of a summer day
Down and Down on my back
Work like a dog in the sunlight
Tryin' to pay the people back
I killed a man in the springtime
Had to happen just to make it damn
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
Aaaaahhh aaaahh aaah
( E )
I guess I have to be strong
The rest of my life can't be too long
I know I die some day
And we're 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 ev'ning comes
Aaaaaahhh aaaah aaaaah
( E )
I guess I have to be strong
The rest of my life can't be too long
Aaaaaahhh aaaah aaaaah
