Johnny Cash - If I Give My Soul Lyrics
(Shaver Billy Joe)Down a dangerous road,i have come to where i'm standingWith a heavy heart,and my hat clutched in my handSuch a foolish fool,God ain't known no greater sinnerI have come in search of Jesus,hoping he will understandI had a woman once,she was kind and she was gentleHad a child by me,who grew up to be a manI had a steady job,til i started into drinkingAnd i started making music that went with the devil's bandOh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eaglesMy dreams and plans were all scattered in the windIt's a lonesome life,when you lose the ones you live forIf i make my peace with Jesus will they take me back againIf i give my soul,will he cleanse these clothes i'm wearin'If i give my soul,will he put new boots on my feetIf i bow my head and beg God for his forgivenessWill he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignityIf i give my soul,will he stop my hands from shakingIf i give my soul,will my son love me againIf i give my soul,and she knows i really mean itIf i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back againIf i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
