My brother dies and left me

My Mother moved away

and I been gone now for so long

How long I cannot say



and I am left to wonder

What I'm doing here

Guess I got to pay for

the sins of all my years



I got to pay

for the sins

of all my years



I been talking to the lord

Sweet Jesus let me be

and please keep the devil

far away from me

Cause I have outrun my fears

Guess I got to pay for the sins of all my years



But I won't be afraid

and I will find a way

No, I won't be afraid

of the sins of all my years

If I should live to be half a century

is there a way that I can pay and

live forever free cause

my spirit is breaking

There's not much fight left here

Guess I got to pay for the sins of all my years



But I won't be afraid and I will find a way

No no I won't be afraid if I have to

Pay and pay

If I have to pay and pay and pay

for the sins of all my years
