Verse 1

  Down a dangerous road,i have come to where i'm standing

  With a heavy heart,and my hat clutched in my hand

  Such a foolish fool,God ain't known no greater sinner

  I have come in search of Jesus,hoping he will understand

Verse 2

  I had a woman once,she was kind and she was gentle

  Had a child by me,who grew up to be a man

  I had a steady job,til i started into drinking

  And i started making music that went with the devil's band

Verse 3

  Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles

  My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind

  It's a lonesome life,when you lose the ones you live for

  If i make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again

Chorus

  If i give my soul,will he cleanse these clothes i'm wearin'

  If i give my soul,will he put new boots on my feet

  If i bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness

  Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity

Chorus bis

  If i give my soul,will he stop my hands from shaking

  If i give my soul,will my son love me again

  If i give my soul,and she knows i really mean it

  If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again

Chorus bis.

  If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
