Lyrics of Last Train to Juarez – Borrowed Time

Don’t wait until it’s too late to say I love you
Don’t hesitate to do the things you want to
Cause we’re all here on borrowed time
The years they keep on flying by
Don’t waste them in a life that don’t suit you

My old man had a dream of heading back home
For us to cross that ocean, walk the streets he once roamed
But every year he put it off
He said son soon we’ll go
Tomorrow never came, he got sick that dream is gone

I held his hand as they led him down that hallway
Where the surgeons told us that we should all pray
The words I meant to say
Never made it out that day
Now my father’s gone, and I regret it to this day

Cause tomorrow ain’t a promise, that’s a given
It may never come, can’t count on it
If you got places you ain’t seen
Catch a plane and chase those dreams
Before those grains of sand are on the bottom
It’s all just borrowed time that we’re livin

She sat by that phone waitin’ for an answer
Cause the doctors told her she had signs of cancer
Spent her whole life working
Searching for fields of gold
And never chased her dream of being a dancer

If you got dreams don’t give ’em up, go chase ’em
If you got kin you don’t talk to, embrace ’em
If the work you do you despise and the smile that you wear’s a lie
Life’s too short to hate the life you’re livin

Cause tomorrow ain’t a promise, that’s a given
It may never come, can’t count on it
If you got places you ain’t seen
Catch a plane and chase those dreams
Before those grains of sand are on the bottom
It’s all just borrowed time that we’re livin
It’s all just borrowed time that we’re livin
