Billy Joe Walker Jr. - Livin' on Borrowed Time lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I'm swimmin' in debt And the money's all gone I ain't got nothin' I can call my own Work my fingers to the blood and bone For a big disappointment when my paycheck comes [Verse 2] 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' at the end of a credit line Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] Our trailer's plenty big if we lived outside But I can't swing the payments on a double wide You better hold a place in that welfare line 'Cause I'm just livin' on borrowed time [Chorus] Well 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 havin' money to burn I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn [Instrumental break] [Chorus] Well 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 havin' money to burn I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn [Verse 5] Yeah I bought my wife a little diamond ring Her mom said, "Hon, 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 [Verse 6] Even if I was to up and pa** away My family doesn't have enough to dig my grave No tombstone just an old wood sign Sayin' 'he was just livin' on borrowed time' [Tag] I'm out there swingin' from a credit line Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time
