Borrowed Time

For far too many years
I've been smoking these cigars.
And spent a good portion of my life
Drinking in these bars.
Between poker nights and bar room fights
My body shows the scars.

Friends I've had one hell of a ride,
And that should be a crime.
I am lucky to still be alive
Even if it's on borrowed time.

I'm a washed up rodeo has been
And my glory days have passed.
Spent many of nights in an emergency room
Being fitted for a cast.
Been bucked by bulls and kicked by mules
But I always had a blast.

Friends I've had one hell of a ride,
And that should be a crime.
I am lucky to still be alive
Even if it's on borrowed time.
