Borrowed Time

Borrowed time, borrowed time

Soon as you drive it off the lot, it's in decline

Borrowed time, borrowed time

Give me some of yours, I'll give you some of mine

It's fortune you've been after

No fortune have you found

Some'll say to cut your losses

Others say to double down

Maybe you got someone to hold you

But can you hold them in kind?

You can't compromise with borrowed time

Borrowed time, borrowed time

Everybody needs a little somethin' they can leave behind

Borrowed time, borrowed time

You're gonna have to give it back somewhere down the line

Gotta watch your hypertension

The heavy heart wears the crown

Don't be too hard on your suspension

As you roll over the ground

They're gonna want their percentage, boy

Set aside some to unwind

There just ain't enough borrowed time

Borrowed time, borrowed time

It wasn't God who gave Noah the rainbow sign

Borrowed time, borrowed time

Just listen to that eternal engine whine

Now the minutes turn to hours

And the hours turn into days

Some days, I go to bed feelin' like I just woke up

It seems like it's meltin' away

Lord, make me an offer I can't refuse

We were born to win and bound to lose

All of these bad uses of borrowed time

Borrowed time, borrowed time

Depreciatin' like a double-wide trailer on top of a salt mine

Borrowed time, borrowed time

Give me some of yours, I'll give you some of mine

Give me some of yours, I'll give you some of mine
