Johnny cash if i give my soul lyrics

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 fool,God ain't known no greater sinner

I have come in search of Jesus,hoping 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

And i started making music that went 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 Jesus will they take me back again



If i give my soul,will he cleanse 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 inside me and give back my dignity



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 to Jesus will she take me back again
