Lyrics
Wedding bells and shotgun shells,
Exits and fare-the wells
One-night stands are my claim to fame
Grab my cigarettes, and lay down my last bet
Lord knows I’m livin’ on borrowed time
Chorus
Down for the count
Breakin’ rules that would never bend
Even jail don’t scare me now
Cash wrote about it,
Joplin she sang it,
Honey I’m just drinkin’ through the pain
I heard Amazing Grace,
Fill that entire place
And I saw Jesus on the wall
I heard the people pray,
I saw them sway and sway
Oh my God, I think I see the Light
Chorus
I wrecked the limousine,
I split the bloody scene
Now I’m wanted in thirty-seven states
Well I’m in the post office baby,
And you know I smile like crazy
Lord knows I’m livin’ on borrowed time
