Standard (EADGBE)

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?
