Lyrics
Thinking back on the years gone by since I've been on my own
Seems like only yesterday I started down this road
Seventeen to forty five flew by like a wink of an eye
Some don't last that long I know, and some face the test of time
And you know we are all just living on borrowed time
From the day we're born until it come our time to fly
Fortune fame and destiny are all a state of mind
Cause you know we're all just living on borrowed time
Walk me out in the morning sun down along the Island shore
I want to feel that Southern breeze just like I felt before
We can swim in the ocean tide as it flows out to the sea
Or lay here in this Island sand watch the waves breaking on the reef
And you know we're all just living on borrowed time
From the day we're born until we cross that final line
Fortune fame and destiny are all a state of mind
Cause you know we're all just here on borrowed time
If Father Time has got his eyes on me well I'm not ready to go
There's a place where I'd rather be but if it is time I don't want to know
Staring into the open sky on a dark cold winters night
Looking at a billion stars- like looking back in time
Maybe just a memory now is all that we have left
Hold on to every thing you've got and try not to forget
That you know we're all just living on borrowed time
From the day we're born until we cross that final line
Fortune fame and destiny are all a state of mind
Cause you know we're all just Living on borrowed time
Yea you know we're all just here on borrowed time
In memory of the many souls that departed this life too soon...
