Sins of All My Years Lyrics

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

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
