Artist/Band: Richard Thompson
Lyrics for Song: Borrowed Time
Lyrics for Album: Watching The Dark: The History Of Richard Thompson [1993]



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
