Tom T Hall - Wasted, Borrowed Money lyrics

rate me

(Tom T. Hall - Jim Whitehead)

Oh, the years come tumbling down as if each one were a town

And I'm indebted to my friends for hanging out and hanging in

The debt is heavy on my mind friends been good and friends been kind

I lapped up my youth like honey just like wasted borrowed money.

Just like wasted borrowed money breathing air of another day

Spendin' next week's pretty sunshine on a dream that's gone away

Would you settle for me being what I am and where we are

Just like wasted borrowed money some of these memories are scarred.

--- Instrumental ---

My emotions are all bankrupt like a poor boy's country store

I left out that part about me dying oh I've done it all before

Maybe I can make it up some well Lord it's sad but it seems to me

Just like wasted borrowed money life's been catchin' up with me.

Just like wasted borrowed money breathing air of another day

Spendin' next week's pretty sunshine on a dream that's gone away

Would you settle for me being what I am and where we are

Just like wasted borrowed money some of these memories are scarred...
