Intro G 
 
G 
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 
     C 
If I only had a little I could do just fine 
        G 
I could put a down payment on a piece of mine 
        D 
But I'm hangin on the end of a credit line 
G 
Lord I'm just livin on borrowed time 
 
 
G 
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 
    C 
Our trailers plenty big if we live down size 
      G 
But I can't swing the payments on a double wide 
D 
Ya better hold a place in that welfare line 
G 
Cause I'm just livin on borrowed time 
 
Chorus: 
C 
If it comes in cheap but it don't come free 
        G 
Then it stays off limits to a guy like me 
C 
They say it brings trouble havin money to burn 
  A7                             D 
I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn 
 
Slide Guitar Solo 
 
Sing Chorus 
 

G 
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 
C 
Even if I was to pass away 
   G 
My family doesn't have enough to dig my grave 
D 
No tombstone just on old wood sign 
      G 
Sayin he was just livin on borrowed time 
D 
Out there swingin from a credit line 
G 
Lord I'm just livin on borrowed time 
G 
Lord I'm just livin on borrowed time
