Lucky Hodnett - Borrowed Time Lyrics

(Jeffrey A. Hodnett, Carla Boutwell-Hodnett & Belinda Shields / BMI)

(Verse 1) Soon as life begins, it can end
People take for granted the life they live,
Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad
But in the end its what you’ve had

(Chorus)Borrowed time, it ain’t worth a dime
One day you’re here and then gone
We have to live with the cards we are dealt
And the things we have felt
Till the good Lord calls us home


(Verse 2) You’re running late for work and you miss a wreck
You’re paydays late and that ain’t worth a heck
Your car won’t start, it’s out of gas
You tell your boss to kiss your, well …

(repeat chorus)

(Verse 3) At times we watch that old clock
Then pray the hands will stop
We don’t want to miss a hug or a kiss
So we don’t look back on chances lost

(repeat chorus)

(tag)We have to live with the cards we are dealt
And the things we have felt
Til the good Lord calls us home
