Lyrics
Borrowed Time ©2023 Creative InRoads, LLC
You say you want to get married
Have you some kids, build you a home
But baby don't you see you start to fool yourself
A full time man is what you need
And it breaks my heart when you count on me
I'm no good for you
'Cause I don't share your dreams
We've been lovin' on borrowed time
Living our life on the borderline
And it's hard enough for me to see it through
We've been lovin' on borrowed time
Livin' our lives on the borderline
I know it's not, everything you want from me, but it's the best I can do
It's not that I don't care for you
Just ain't the type to settle down
So it's no use you thinking I can change
I'm really doing all I can
But I don't see me as the family man
'Cause what I got to give
Ain't what you have in mind
We've been lovin' on borrowed time
Livin' our lives on the border line
And it's hard enough for me to see it through
We've been lovin' on borrowed time
Livin' our lives on the border line
I know it's not, everything you want from me, but it's the best I can do
And oh the lights went out some time ago
They say that home is where the heart is, and I believe it's true
But this aint home to me
And my heart ain't here with you
Solo and repeat choruses to end..................
