Lyrics

[Verse 1]

So the story goes

This is a tale that must be told

For what could be your destiny

You'll never know

[Verse 2]

I never meant to be here

I never even tried

But until you know when you're lost and down

You'll come to trouble in time

[Verse 3]

It was a cold December

I wept sad at night

In a steel toe rage made a big mistake

Now I'll be doing time

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

But now I'm sad that I'm going to Hell

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

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'm really not surprised

[Verse 8]

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

But now I'm sad that I'm going to Hell

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

[Verse 9]

'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

[Verse 10]

Now I'm growing old

18 years or more to go

I waste away in this cage, I'm all alone

[Verse 11]

That's how the story goes

This is a tale that must be told

For what could be your destiny

You'll never know

[Verse 12]

'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

[Verse 13]

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

[Verse 14]

So the story goes

This is a tale that must be told

For the sorrow in my heart will never fade

[Verse 15]

So the story goes

This is a tale that must be told

Yes, I'm sorry for the error of my ways
