[Verse 1:] Oh, the years come tumbling down as if each one were a town And I'm indebted to my friends for hanging out and hanging in The debt is heavy on my mind Friends been good and friends been kind I lapped up my youth like honey just like wasted borrowed money [Chous:] Just like wasted borrowed money breathing air of another day Spendin' next week's pretty sunshine on a dream that's gone away Would you settle for me being what I am and where we are Just like wasted borrowed money Some of these memories are scarred [Verse 2:] My emotions are all bankrupt like a poor boy's country store I left out that part about me dying oh I've done it all before Maybe I can make it up some well Lord it's sad but it seems to me Just like wasted borrowed money life's been catchin' up with me [Chorus]
