[Intro]
G
[Verse]
GWell 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 dissapointment when my paycheck comes
If I Conly had a little I could do just fine
I could Gput a down payment on a piece of mine
But I'm Dhangin on the end of a credit line
GLord I'm just livin on borrowed time
GMy trucks financed through the union bank
But I don't have enough to even fill the tank
I'd take ya for a ride girl but I just can't
Cause the damn old motor won't even crank
Our Ctrailers plenty big if we live down size
But I Gcan't swing the payments on a double wide
DYa better hold a place in that welfare line
GCause I'm just livin on borrowed time
[Chorus]
CIf it comes in cheap but it don't come free
Then it Gstays off limits to a guy like me
CThey say it brings trouble havin money to burn
I A7reckon that's a lesson I won't Dhave to learn
[Verse]
GYeah I bought my wife a little diamond ring
Her mom said hun can't even see that thing
It'll be paid of when I'm sixty five
If I'm lucky enough to even be alive
CEven if I was to pass away
My Gfamily doesn't have enough to dig my grave
DNo tombstone just on old wood sign
Sayin Ghe was just livin on borrowed time
DOut there swingin from a credit line
GLord I'm just livin on borrowed time
GLord I'm just livin on borrowed time

[Intro]

[Verse]

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 dissapointment when my paycheck comes

If I only had a little I could do just fine

I could put a down payment on a piece of mine

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

Lord I'm just livin on borrowed time

My trucks financed through the union bank

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

I'd take ya for a ride girl but I just can't

Cause the damn old motor won't even crank

Our trailers plenty big if we live down size

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

Ya better hold a place in that welfare line

Cause I'm just livin on borrowed time

[Chorus]

If it comes in 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

A7 D

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

[Verse]

Yeah I bought my wife a little diamond ring

Her mom said hun can't even see that thing

It'll be paid of when I'm sixty five

If I'm lucky enough to even be alive

Even if I was to pass away

My family doesn't have enough to dig my grave

No tombstone just on old wood sign

Sayin he was just livin on borrowed time

Out there swingin from a credit line

Lord I'm just livin on borrowed time
