Late for an early grave

I broke out of prison
when I was seventeen
lookin’ hard at the world, I was feelin’ mean
I tried to find the life I wanted
out on the streets
the way I took wasn’t easy, in fact it was obscene

Ridin’ hard down the road
for something
that’s just out of reach
I can’t tell
what’s up ahead, and can’t return
from where I leave

I’m late for an early grave
I know that I can be saved
I’m late for an early grave
I’ll never fade away

I’m older now but lost as ever
still trying to find that life
around the bend I know it’s there, it’s just out of sight
by this time next year baby, I’ll be doin’ alright
It’s what I tell myself everyday,
it’s the thing that pulls me through the night I take one step forward baby,
feels like two steps back
but when I get to where I’m going,
I’m never, ever gonna look back

I’m late for an early grave
I know that I can be saved
I’m late for an early grave
I’ll never fade away

(SOLO)

I take one step forward baby,
feels like two steps back
but when I get to where I’m going,
I’m never, ever gonna look back

I’m late for an early grave
I know that I can be saved
I’m late for an early grave
I’ll never fade away

I’m late for an early grave
I know that I can be saved
I’m late for an early grave
I’ll never fade away
I’ll never fade away
