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 JesusHoping 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 Started playing music Traveling 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 JesusWill He 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 JesusWill she take me back again? 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?
