Buying Time
(c) 2000 Kim Adams

You?re waiting for the last mistake to do me in
Too many times I?ve gone and made them over again
Asking for one more second chance
Holding on to our romance
I?m saving up my nickels and dimes
So I can keep on buying time

I?m working on the last straw that breaks the camel?s back
I?m riding on a one way train at the end of the track
I?d get down on my knees and beg
And swallow all my pride
Mistakes are too expensive babe when I?m just buying time

I?ll give you love and honesty
I?ll never lie again
I?ll swear upon the bible to wash away my sins
If time finds me out on the streets without your hand in mine
I?ll sell my soul to the devil man
To keep on buying time

I?m working on the last straw that breaks the camel?s back
I?m riding on a one way train at the end of the track
I?d get down on my knees and beg
And swallow all my pride
Mistakes are too expensive babe when I?m just buying time

If I had a million dollars for every promise that I?ve made
I could buy back all the time I?ve spent
Then all my debt to you would be paid

The camels back has broken and what happened can?t be undone
If you?re looking for a fool on track well Ill show you one
Begging on my hands and knees would do me no good
My time is up and I?m flat broke you left me like you should
