Late for an Early Grave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
