Will Your Lawyer Talk To God

(Album: Especially For You - 1964)

Your lawyer called and said he had the papers all prepared
To sign my name was all I had to do
He saw the judge now he's seen me
There's only one thing left
Will your lawyer talk to God for you

Will your lawyer talk to God and plead your case up on high
And defend the way you broke my heart in two
Man made laws to set you free on earth but is God satisfied
Will your lawyer talk to God for you

We all face that final judgment and it's very strict they say
When your time comes I wonder what you'll do
Will you bow your head in shame
Or will you turn your head away
Or will your lawyer talk to God for you

Will your lawyer talk to God and plead your case up on high
And defend the way you broke my heart in two
Man made laws to set you free on earth but is God satisfied
Will your lawyer talk to God for you
