|
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, hoping he will understand |
|
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 life 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 till I started into drinking |
|
And I started making music traveling with the Devil's Band |
|
Oh the years flew 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 they 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 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 life within me and bring her back to me? |
