Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing
A
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand
D G D
Such a foolish fool, God ain't known no greater sinner
G D D
I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand
G D
If I give my soul, will he clean these clothes I'm wearin'?
G A
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet?
D G D
If I bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness
G D A D
Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity
G D
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle
A
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man
D G D
I had a steady job, til I started into drinkin'
G D A D
Then I started makin' music that went with the Devil's band
G D
Oh the years went by like a mighty rush of eagles
G A
My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
D G D
And it's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for
G D A D
If I make my peace with Jesus, will they take me back again?
G D
If I give my soul, will he stop my hands from shaking?
G A
If I give my soul, will my son love me again?
D G D
If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it
G D A D
If I give my soul to Jesus, will she take me back again?
G D
If I give my soul, will he clean the clothes I'm wearin'
G A
If I give my soul, will he put new boots on my feet
D G D
If I bow my head, and beg God for his forgiveness
G D A D
Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity
