Standard (EADGBE)

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, hping he will understand

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?

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 drinkin'

Then I started makin' music travellin' with the Devil's

band

Oh the years went by like a mighty rush of eagles

Our dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind

And it's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live

for

If I make my peace with 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, will he clean the 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?
