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
