I have come to where I'm standing
and my hat clutched in my hand
God ain't on no crater center
I have come in search of Jesus
Hoping he will understand
She was kind and she was a gentle
Till I started into drinkin',
then I started makin' music
Travelin' with the devil's band
like a mighty rush of eagles
were all scattered in the wind
when you lose the ones you live for
If I make my peace with Jesus,
will He take me back again?
will He clean these clothes I'm wearing?
will He put new boots on my feet?
and beg God for His forgiveness
Will He breathe new breath inside me
and give back my dignity?
will He stop my hands from shaking?
will my son love me again?
and she knows I really mean it
If I give my soul to Jesus,
will she take me back again?
Will they stop my hands from shakin'
Will my son love me again
And she knows I really mean it
If I give my soul to Jesus
Will she take me back again?
