If I Give My Soul

(Get off stage, Cash. OK?)

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, hoping 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 life 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 drinking

Then I started making music travelin' 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 they 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 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?
