Il testo della If i give my soul

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

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
Started playing music
Traveling 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 he 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?
