30 Years to Life (Live at The Roxy, 25/9/14) Lyrics by Slash

Live At The Roxy 25.09.14

2015

[Spoken Word]
I wanna see those hands, c'mon
[Intro]
So the story goes
This is a tale that must be told
For what could be your destiny, you never know
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
It was a cold December
A rip city night
In a steel toe rage, made a big mistake
Now I'll be doing time
[Pre-Chorus]
I was runnin' with the order
I was runnin' out of time (Running out of time)
Now, for me, there is no quarter
I don't wanna bе here
I don't wanna die
[Chorus]
Sеrvin' 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 way
[Verse 3]
They sent me on a mission
Out to earn my stripes
Shoulda known damn well
When the curb stomp fell
Things would never be right
[Pre-Chorus]
I was runnin' with the order
I was runnin' out of time (Runnin' out of time)
Now, for me, there is no quarter
I don't want to be here
How many nights I've cried
[Chorus]
Servin' 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 way
[Bridge]
Now I know, now I know
I was wrong and I can’t let this go
I know, now I know
Lord, I'm sorry, what a wretched soul
What a big mistake
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Now I’m growin' 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
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause when you're runnin' with the order
You're only runnin' out of time (Runnin' out of time)
Now, for me, there is no quarter
I didn't wanna be here
I don't wanna die
[Chorus]
Serving 30 years to life
What I did, I can't deny
Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my way
I remember it so well
It's too late to save myself
Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my way
Alright
[Outro]
(So the story goes)
(This is a tale that must be told)
Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my way
(So the story goes)
(This is a tale that must be told)
Lord, I'm sorry for the error of my ways, uh
Alright
