Livin' On Borrowed Time

Ah, yo, di, ley, ooh, ooh, ooh

Well I'm swimming in debt and the money's all gone

I ain't got nothing I can call my own

Worked my fingers to the blood and bone

For a big disappointment when my pay cheque comes

If I only had a little, I could do just fine

I could put a down payment on some peace of mind

But I'm hangin' on the end of a credit line

Lord, I'm just livin' on borrowed time

My truck's financed through the union bank

But I don't have enough to even fill the tank

I'd take you for a drive, girl, but I just can't

'Cause the damned old motor won't even crank

Our trailer's plenty big if we lived outside

But I can't swing the payments on a double-wide

You'd better hold a place in that welfare line

'Cause I'm just living on borrowed time

If it comes real cheap, but it don't come free

Then it stays off-limits to a guy like me

They say it brings trouble having money to burn

I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn

Not long, hmm, hmm

Yeah, I bought my wife a little diamond ring

Her mom said, "Huh, can't even see that thing"

It'll be paid off when I'm sixty-five

If I'm lucky enough to still be alive

Even if I was to up and pass away

My family doesn't have enough to dig my grave

No tombstone, just an old wood sign saying

"He was just livin' on borrowed time"

Out there swinging from a credit line

Lord, I'm just livin' on borrowed time

Lord, I'm just livin' on borrowed time
