Intro G5 
 
G5 
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 
     C5 
If I only had a little I could do just fine 
        G5 
I could put a down payment on a piece of mine 
        D5 
But I'm hangin on the end of a credit line 
G5 
Lord I'm just livin on borrowed time 
 
 
G5 
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 
    C5 
Our trailers plenty big if we live down size 
      G5 
But I can't swing the payments on a double wide 
D5 
Ya better hold a place in that welfare line 
G5 
Cause I'm just livin on borrowed time 
 
Chorus: 
C5 
If it comes in cheap but it don't come free 
        G5 
Then it stays off limits to a guy like me 
C5 
They say it brings trouble havin money to burn 
  A5                             D5 
I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn 
 
Slide Guitar Solo 
 
Sing Chorus 
 

G5 
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 
C5 
Even if I was to pass away 
   G5 
My family doesn't have enough to dig my grave 
D5 
No tombstone just on old wood sign 
      G5 
Sayin he was just livin on borrowed time 
D5 
Out there swingin from a credit line 
G5 
Lord I'm just livin on borrowed time 
G5 
Lord I'm just livin on borrowed time
