Tell the truth, shame the devil
He's gonna fool you if he can
I'm telling you it's gonna be double
Better leave this gambling man
You've tried and tried
Mama I've lied and lied
It don't matter what you do
I just can't be satisfied
I want to be free, that's my only crime
Loving you on borrowed time
Loving you on borrowed time
You can't stop what's already coming
I thought you'd know by now
Can't you see it's sure to be trouble
You know what I'm talking about
You've tried and tried
Mama I've lied and lied
It don't matter what you do
I just can't be satisfied
I want to be free, that's my only crime
Loving you on borrowed time
Loving you on borrowed time
Well this game it don't mean nothing
We're just rolling in the tide
Yes it's true that I've been struggling
I'll never leave this old world alive
You've tried and tried
Mama I've lied and lied
It don't matter what you do
I just can't be satisfied
I want to be free, that's my only crime
Loving you on borrowed time
Loving you on borrowed time
