(Harlan Howard - Richard Johnson)

Your lawyer called and said he has the papers all prepared
To sign my name was all I had to do
He saw the judge now he 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've broke my heart in two
Man made loss set you free on earth but is God satisfied
Will your lawyer talk to God for you.

We all face that final judgement and it's very strick 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've broke my heart in two
Man made loss set you free on earth but is God satisfied
Will your lawyer talk to God for you...
