Lyrics
I've lived my life like a man with no debts to pay
Stepped on everyone who tried to get in my way
But sittin' here gazin' out a hole in a darkened cell
I pray to God to lead me past, the certain path to Hell
Chorus:
I'm never goin' back, I'm never givin' in
No I kinda' lost the track, when my ship failed to come on in
So I turn to Heaven now, to kinda' show me how
Forget my sin, be a man again
I'm never goin' back, I'm never givin' in
In the mirror, I see a man goin' gray
More than that I see a soul, who once lost his way
But walkin' out the prison gate with the free sunshine on my face
I look into the sky, send a message to the man I say
Chorus
