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 man, God ain't known no greater sinner
I have come in search of Jesus, hping he will understand
If I give my soul, will he clean 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 within me and bring her back to
me?
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 drinkin'
Then I started makin' music travellin' with the Devil's
band
Oh the years went by like a mighty rush of eagles
Our dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
And it's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live
for
If I make my peace with Jesus, will she take me back
again?
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?
If I give my soul, will he clean the 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 within me and bring her back to
me?
