Out there swingin' from a credit line
Yeah, if it comes real cheap but it don't come free
No tombstone just an old wood sign
I'd take you for a drive, girl, but I just can't
Our trailer's plenty big if we lived outside
Even if I was to up and pass away
Sayin' he was just livin' on borrowed time
They say it brings trouble, havin' money to burn
You better hold a place in that welfare line
I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn
Yeah, I bought my wife a little diamond ring
But I don't have enough to even fill the tank
Then it stays off limits to a guy like me
Lord, I'm just livin' on borrowed time
'Cause the damned old motor won't even crank
But I'm hangin' at the end of a credit line
If I'm lucky enough to still be alive
But I can't swing the payments on a double wide
Work my fingers to the blood and bone
'Cause I'm just livin' on borrowed time
Yeah, if it comes real cheap but it don't come free
If I only had a little I could do just fine
Then it stays off limits to a guy like me
I could put a down payment on some peace of mind
They say it brings trouble, havin' money to burn
My family doesn't have enough to dig my grave
Her mom said "Hon, can't even see that thing"
Lord I'm just livin' on borrowed time
My truck's financed through the Union Bank
For a big disappointment when my paycheck comes
It'll be paid off when I'm sixty five
I reckon that's a lesson I won't have to learn, Lord, Lord
