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 with it in me and give she 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 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 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 with it in me and give she back to me
