Strum
D-DU-UDU
   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 fool,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
  And i started  making music  that went 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 they 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 breath inside  me and give back  my dignity
   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
 Chorus bis.
   If i give  my soul to Jesus  will she take  me back again
