30 Years To Life - Slash, Myles Kennedy And The Conspirators

So the story goes

This is a tale that must be told

For what could be your destiny

You never know

I never meant to be here

I never even tried

But until you know

When you’re lost and down

You come to trouble in time

It was a cold December

A rip city night

In a steel toe rage

Made a big mistake

Now I’ll be doing time

I was running with the order

I was running out of time

Now for me there is no quarter

I don’t want to be here

I don’t want to die

Serving 30 years to life

What I did I can’t deny

Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade

I remember it so well

The night I sent that boy to Hell

Lord, I’m sorry for the error of my ways

They sent me on a mission

Out to earn my stripes

Should have known damn well

When the curb stomp fell

Things would never be right

I was running with the order

I was running out of time

Now for me there is no quarter

I don’t want to be here

How many nights I’ve cried

Serving 30 years to life

What I did I can’t deny

Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade

I remember it so well

The night I sent that boy to Hell

Lord, I’m sorry for the error of my ways

‘Cause now I know

Now I know

I was wrong and I can’t let this go

I know

Now I know

I am sorry

What a wretched soul

What a big mistake

Now I’m growing old

18 years or more to go

I waste way in this cage

I’m all alone

That’s how the story goes

This is a tale that must be told

For what could be

Your destiny

You never know

‘Cause when you’re running with the order

You’re only running out of time

Now for me there is no quarter

I didn’t want to be here

I don’t want to die

Serving 30 years to life

What I did I can’t deny

Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade

My regret I know it well

But it’s too late to save myself

Lord, I’m sorry for the error of my ways

So the story goes

This is a tale that must be told

For the sorrow in my heart will never fade

So the story goes

This is a tale that must be told

Yes I’m sorry for the error of my ways
