Johnny Cash - If I Give My Soul lyrics

[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?
