Story behind the song
Living on borrowed time is a 150 year old saying meaning a period of uncertainty during which the inevitable consequences of a current situation are postponed or avoided. Often used with terminally ill patients
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...

Great first class sound production! The vocals sound great and the acoustic guitar is recorded beautifully. Everything sounds great - love the bass and slide work. We may indeed be here on "Borrowed Time" but we can share the music while we're here.

Another stunning song, got a sort of Eagles feel, your music is top notch and professional, you should be getting radio play with material of this quality.

Warm yet clear sound, excellent playing that serves the song perfectly. A wonderful song that I'm sure most of us can relate to.

Beautiful song, Dale! I love that jangly accoustic and the Lowell George slide, not forgetting your excellent vocal and somewhat melancholy lyrics. Top marks all 'round. Mauri.

Terrific intro....Flawless vocals over a flawless performance. The melody is immediate and prominent...Love the drum mix (nice snap on the snare, and the B3 is awesome)."Big Ups" on a cool song. Totally enjoyed it.

Kind of like the cat who has beaten the 9 lives ;) Love the flow of this rocker Kaul - that Leslie in the background gives off the goose bumps - reminds me some of Bob Seger. Flawless work - fantastic listen!

Good news about John Rey Reed and very sad to hear about all the other people you've lost in such a short space of time. The song says it all. Excellent lyrics, great performance and top notch song.
