If I Give My Soul

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



Had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle



Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man



Had a steady job, till I started into drinking



Then I started making music traveling with the devil's band



Ohh, the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles



Our dreams and plans were all scattered the wind



Well, 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 clean these clothes I'm wearing?



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 me back my dignity?



If I give my soul will he stop my hands from shakin'?



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?
