Well...
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
Lord, Just wait in the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room
You're gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond
I heard the voice of Jesus saying he told me he had risen
Now in the waining midnight hour, I don't hold my breath
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
Lord, Just wait in the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room
You're gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond
When you was a gambler, nobody would go your bond
Fell on your knees and began to pray, 'cause Jesus would go your bond
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
You're gonna need somebody on your bond
Lord, Just wait in the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room
You're gonna need, ah, somebody on your bond
It came the day that sad was wearied, wounded side
Bounds that held me left this place they have made me glad
If I've got somebody on my bond
Lord, I've got somebody on my bond
Lord, Just wait in the midnight when death comes slippin' in your room
Lord, I've got somebody on my bond
