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 didnt 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 Ill have to be strong, the rest of my life cant be too long
I know Ill die some day, and be going far away,
And you wont remember the things that Ive done
I feel a shedding tear, its only been a year,
But I know Ill be dead when the evening comes

Ahhh ahhh
Ah, ah, ahhh ahhh

I guess Ill have to be strong, the rest of my life cant be too long

Ahhh ahhh
Ah, ah, ahhh ahhh
