Lyrics
Down a dangerous road, I have come to where I'm standing
Reflecting on a perilous journey, arriving at the current state.
With a heavy heart, and my hat clutched in my hand
Feeling burdened emotionally, symbolized by a heavy heart and a humble gesture.
Such a foolish man, God ain't known no greater sinner
Acknowledging personal flaws, recognizing oneself as a great sinner in the eyes of God.
I have come in search of Jesus, hoping he will understand
Seeking Jesus, hoping for understanding and redemption.
I had a woman once, she was kind and she was gentle
Recalling a past relationship with a kind and gentle woman.
Had a child by me, who grew up to be a man
Mentioning a son who has grown into adulthood.
I had a steady job, 'til I started into drinking
Describing a stable job that was lost due to a descent into drinking and involvement with a questionable lifestyle.
Started playing music travelin' with the devil's band
Turning to music, associating with a risky or immoral group (the devil's band).
Oh the years flew by like a mighty rush of eagles
Reflecting on the swift passage of time and the scattering of dreams and plans.
My dreams and plans were all scattered in the wind
Expressing the challenges and loneliness of a life where loved ones are lost.
It's a lonesome life, when you lose the ones you live for
Pondering reconciliation with Jesus to regain acceptance.
If I make my peace with Jesus will they take me back again
Questioning if finding peace with Jesus will lead to acceptance by those lost.
If I give my soul, will He stop my hands from shaking
Contemplating if surrendering one's soul will bring stability and calmness.
If I give my soul, will my son love me again
Wondering if sacrificing one's soul will restore love from a estranged son.
If I give my soul, and she knows I really mean it
Pleading sincerely, questioning if giving one's soul will convince someone of genuine intentions.
If I give my soul to Jesus will she take me back again
Hoping that dedicating one's soul to Jesus will lead to reconciliation.
If I give my soul, will He clean these clothes I'm wearing
Questioning if surrendering the soul will result in spiritual purification.
If I give my soul, will He put new boots on my feet
Asking if giving one's soul will bring about positive changes in material aspects of life.
If I bow my head, and beg God for His forgiveness
Bowing in humility, seeking God's forgiveness through repentance.
Will he breathe new breath within me, and bring her back to me
Desiring a spiritual renewal and the return of a lost loved one.
