Johnny Cash - If I Give My Soul lyrics

(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?
