JOHNNY CASH/ROSEANNE 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 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 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 life with it in me and give she 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
And i started making music traveling with the devil\'s band

Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles
Our 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 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 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 life with it in me and give she back to me
