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 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
