written and performed by Billy Joe Shaver.
Verse 1:
D G D
Down a dangerous road,i have come to where i'm standing
A
With a heavy heart,and my hat clutched in my hand
D G D
Such a foolish fool,God ain't known no greater sinner
G D A D
I have come in search of Jesus,hoping he will understand
Verse 2:
D G D
I had a woman once,she was kind and she was gentle
A
Had a child by me,who grew up to be a man
D G D
I had a steady job,til i started into drinking
G D A D
And i started making music that went with the devil's band
Verse 3:
D G D
Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles
G A
My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
D G D
It's a lonesome life,when you lose the ones you live for
G D A D
If i make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again
Chorus:
D G D
If i give my soul,will he cleanse these clothes i'm wearin'
G A
If i give my soul,will he put new boots on my feet
D G D
If i bow my head and beg God for his forgiveness
G D A D
Will he breathe new breath inside me and give back my dignity
Chorus bis:
D G D
If i give my soul,will he stop my hands from shaking
G A
If i give my soul,will my son love me again

If i give my soul,and she knows i really mean it
G D A D
If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
Chorus bis.
D G D A D
If i give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
