^GDown a dangerous road I have ^Ccome to where I'm ^Gstanding With a heavy heart and my hat clutched in my ^D7hand

Such a foolish ^Gman God ain't ^Cknown no greater ^Gsinner I have ^Ccome in search of ^GJesus hoping ^D7He will under^Gstand

If I give my ^Csoul will He clean these clothes I'm ^Gwearing If I give my ^Csoul will He put ^Gnew boots on my ^D7feet

If I bow my ^Ghead and beg ^CGod for His for^Ggiveness Will He ^Cbreathe new life within ^Gme and bring ^D7her back to ^Gme

I had a woman once she was ^Ckind and she was ^Ggentle Had a child by me who grew up to be a ^D7man

I had a steady ^Gjob till I ^Cstarted into ^Gdrinking Then I ^Cstarted making ^Gmusic ^D7traveling with the devil's ^Gband

Oh the years went ^Cby like a mighty rush of ^Geagles Our dreams and ^Cplans were all ^Gscattered in the ^D7wind

And it's a lonesome ^Glife when you ^Close the ones you ^Glive for If I ^Cmake my peace with ^GJesus will they ^D7take me back ^Gagain

If I give my ^Csoul will He stop my hands from ^Gshaking If I give my ^Csoul will my ^Gson love me ^D7again

If I give my ^Gsoul and she ^Cknows I really ^Gmean it If I ^Cgive my soul to ^GJesus will she ^D7take me back ^Gagain
