A            G         Bm  A
Got the word, getting ready
      A       G              A
Gonna get my pay from union man
On a lake, boatin' heavy
Where the action is hot, is where I am
No town, no city
Gonna be free from the jumping jack
Kiss of life, getting gritty
If the mule don't kick,
you know the mule don't ride

        C           G            A
And I know, yes I know, woah I know
That's the way to go
        C           G
And I know, and I know, ooh
I know I'm gonna, gettin' down the road

Chorus:
            A
'Cause I'm livin' on borrowed time
                    C           G/B
You do it your way, I'll do it mine
 A         D/F#     G
Living on borrowed time
 A                   C           G/B
Don't need a shove, don't need a sign
    A
No sign

Call me names, call me crazy
Don't try to stop me when I feel this way
It's a game, whoopsy-daisy
Here come another girl to make my day

And I know, yes I know, an' I know
That's the way it go
And I know, yes I know
I'm gonna get a bone when I'm on the road

Chorus:
'Cause I'm living on borrowed time
You do it your way, I'll do it mine
'Cause I'm living on borrowed time
Don't need a shove, don't need a sign

So long
Goodbye
Good luck
Au revoir, baby

Look out people
Nothin' left to lose, 'cause I'm

Chorus:
Living on borrowed time
You do it your way, I'll do it mine
Living on borrowed time
Don't need a shove, don't need a sign
Yes, I'm living on borrowed time
Living on borrowed time
I'm living on borrowed time
Don't need a shove, don't need a sign, no sign
I don't need a sign to show me the way
