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 snis 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
