Borrowed Time

There's riders in this county

They're taking heads for bounty

Wake up Corinne, they come to ride us down

Sweetness we have tasted

The time to move is wasted

They're riding like a hurricane through this town

We've been too many nights sleeping in a feather bed

You can't close both your eyes with a price on your head

You got to stand and fight for what you believe

You got to face death with your heart on your sleeve

Life is a card-game, you've soon got to leave

Living on borrowed,

Living on borrowed,

Living on borrowed time

If you say that you want your freedom

They'll hear you in every kingdom

They'll travel ten thousand miles just to shoot you down

Well the judge he was deluded

And the sheriff he soon colluded

And they swore they'd hang me six feet off the ground

They'll hunt you down 'cause you dare to tell the truth

A man ain't safe these days under his own roof

But you can't live your life under no man's thumb

They'll all pay double for what they've done

Our day's coming but their day's come

Living on borrowed,

Living on borrowed,

Living on borrowed time

You can't live your life under no man's thumb

They'll all pay double for what they've done

Our day's coming but their day's come

Living on borrowed,

Living on borrowed,

Living on borrowed time
