If I Give My Soul Lyrics - Cash Unearthed (box Set) - Johnny Cash

(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?

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

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?
