[Verse]
ADown a dangerous road, I have Dcome to where I'm Astanding
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my Ehand
Such a foolish Aman, God ain't Dknown no greater Asinner
I have Dcome in search of AJesus, Ehoping he will uAnderstand
[Chorus]
If I give my Dsoul, will he clean these clothes AI'm wearin'?
If I give my Dsoul, will he put nAew boots on my Efeet?
If I bow my Ahead and beg DGod for his Aforgiveness
Will he Dbreathe new breath Awithin me Eand bring her back to Ame?
[Verse]
AI had a woman once, she was Dkind and she was Agentle
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a Eman
I had a steady Ajob, til I Dstarted into Adrinkin'
Then I Dstarted makin' Amusic travellin' Ewith the Devil's Aband
[Chorus]
Oh the years went Dby like a mighty rush of Aeagles
Our dreams and Dplans were all scAattered in the Ewind
And it's a lonesome Alife, when you Dlose the ones you Alive for
If I make my Dpeace with AJesus, will she Etake me back Aagain?
[Chorus]
If I give my Dsoul, will he stop my hands from sAhaking?
If I give my Dsoul, will my sAon love me Eagain?
If I give my Asoul, and she Dknows I really Amean it
If I Dgive my soul to AJesus, will she Etake me back Aagain?
If I give my Dsoul, will he clean the clothes I'm Awearin'
If I give my Dsoul, will he puAt new boots on my Efeet
If I bow my Ahead, and beg DGod for his forAgiveness
Will he Dbreathe new breath withAin me and Ebring her back to Ame?
