I take a lot of chances
But I never cross the devil's line
I take a lot of chances
But I never cross the devil's line
I come close to the dead sometimes
But the lord knows above this soul is mine
I've done a lot of wrong things
One of these days I'm gonna do right
I've done a lot of wrong things
One of these days I'm gonna do right
I shed a lot of bad blood
But the lord knows above this soul is mine
A soul is worth a fortune
But when a soul ain't worth a dime
A soul is worth a fortune
But when a soul ain't worth a dime
Well I may not have lots of money
But the lord knows above this soul is mine
Well I may not have lots of money
But the lord knows above this soul is mine
