A-yodel-ay-e. Hoo. Hoo. Hoo.



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 paycheck 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 hanging at the end of a credit line

Lord, I'm just living 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

Cuz the damned ol' motor won't even crank

My trailer's plenty big if we lived outside

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

Better hold a place in that welfare line

Cause I'm just living on borrowed time



Chorus:

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.



Lord! Lord! Hmm-mmm.



Chorus



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 65

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 living on borrowed time

Out there swinging from a credit line

Lord, I'm just living on borrowed time

Lord, I'm just living on borrowed tim
