30 Years To Life Lyrics - World On Fire - Slash

So the story goes 

This is a tale that must be told 

For what could be your destiny you'll never know 

I never meant to be here 

I never even tried 

But I tell you now when you're lost and downed 

You come to trouble in time 

It was a cold December 

A wet 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 wanna be here 

I don't wanna 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've known damn well when the curbstone 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 wanna 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 

Oh, what a big mistake 

(Solo) 

Now I'm growing old 

18 years or more to go 

I waste away 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'll 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 wanna be here 

I don't wanna die 

Serving 30 years to life 

What I did I can't deny 

Now the sorrow in my heart will never fade 

Know it well, 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 

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
