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

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

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

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

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 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 to Jesus

Will she take me back again
