Well I stumbled out of slumber this morning and thought
About the people I've left behind
I had thirty odd years of losing and boozing
And the eight o' five's right on time
I've got a crackpot feeling that wheeling and dealing's
Gonna take away all of my pain
But I'm still out running on borrowed time
I've got the blues running hot in my veins
So I shuffled off to pay my dues at the office
And I thought about saying goodbye
To the thirty odd years of cruising and schmoozing
While that eight o' five's right on time
I've got a jackpot feeling that wheeling and dealing's
Gonna take away all of my shame
But I'm still out running on borrowed time
I've got the blues running hot in my veins
Have another whiskey, have another shot
And throw another dollar away
Kicking at the door trying to give me some more
But I've still got nothing to say
Make another bet and another regret
And blow another bridge away
But I'm still out running on borrowed time
I've got the blues running hot in my veins
Said I'm still out running on borrowed time
I've got the blues running hot in my veins
Yes I'm still out running on borrowed time
I've got the blues running hot in my veins
