Chapman Tracy All That You Have Is Your Soul Lyrics

All That You Have Is Your Soul Lyrics

My mama told me
'Cause she say she learned the hard way
Say she want to
spare the children
She say don't give or sell your soul away
'Cause all
that you have is your soul
Don't be tempted by the shiny apple
Don't you
eat of bitter fruit
Hunger only for a taste of justice
Hunger only for a
world of truth
'Cause all that you have is your soul
I was a pretty young
girl once
I had dreams I had high hopes
I married a man he stole my heart
away
He gave his love but what a high price I paid
And all that you have
is your soul
Why was I such a young fool
Thought I'd make
history
Making babies was the best I could do
Thought I'd made something
that could be mine forever
Found out the hard way one can't possess
another
And all that you have is your soul
I thought thought that I could
find a way
To beat the system
To make a deal and have no debts to
pay
I'd take it all take it all I'd run away
Me for myself first class
and first rate
But all that you have is your soul
Here I am waiting for a
better day
A second chance
A little luck to come my way
A hope to dream
a hope that I can sleep again
And wake in the world with a clear conscience
and clean hands
'Cause all that you have is your soul
All that you
have
All that you have
All that you have
Is your soul
