At what cost...

Verse 1

Concrete

Iron bars

Steel toes on the yard

Twenty years of shadows stretching thin

I watched the winter rot

Saw the summer sun go black

Waiting for a gate to finally swing

Cold

Just cold

Chorus

Twenty years

Gone

Twenty years for a dust in a baggie

My youth burnt out in a cell

For a powder that didn't do nothing

But send me straight into hell

Into hell

Into hell

Post-Chorus

Lord

Lord

Lord

I paid it all back

Verse 2

Grey hair

Tired eyes

Found a different kind of sky

Walking down a road I used to know

Nobody remembers my face

Nobody calls my name

Just a ghost with nowhere left to go

Empty

Bone dry

Wishing I could fly

Chorus

Twenty years

Gone

Twenty years for a dust in a baggie

My youth burnt out in a cell

For a powder that didn't do nothing

But send me straight into hell

Into hell

Into hell

Post-Chorus

Lord

Lord

Lord

I paid it all back

Bridge

The law don't care about the time

The law don't care about the man

The law just takes what it can

It takes

It breaks

It stays the same

Verse 3

Dirt

Red clay

Kicking up the dust today

Looking at the house where I grew up

Windows are all broken out

Roof is sagging to the floor

Nothing left to fill a bitter cup

Gone

Long gone

Move on

Chorus

Twenty years

Gone

Twenty years for a dust in a baggie

My youth burnt out in a cell

For a powder that didn't do nothing

But send me straight into hell

Into hell

Into hell

Outro

Dust in a baggie

Dust in the wind

Dust on my hands

Just dust

Just dust

Just dust
