Gonna let my soul catch my body My body make up my mind Gonna let my soul catch my body My body make up my mind This world makes me weary I’m livin’ here on borrowed time Gonna pray the Lord free my spirit The spirit gonna give a sign Gonna pray the Lord free my spirit The spirit gonna give a sign This world makes me weary Sellin’ me what’s never been mine Now if I’m good to be my body My body she’ll point the way Now if I’m good to be my body My body she’ll point the way
Oh these days they are numbered I might not have too long to stay Gonna lay out fine linen Gonna make up my dyin’ bed I’m gonna lay out fine linen Gonna make up my dyin’ bed If you call me sweet Jesus I’m ready to lay down my head Gonna let my soul catch my body My body make up my mind Gonna let my soul catch my body My body make up my mind This world makes me weary I’m livin’ here on borrowed time (Oh) This road makes me weary I’m livin’ here on borrowed time
