Livin’ on Borrowed Time – Album

Description

Written and Produced by Dave Warner. All 12 songs in MP3 format.

Livin’ on Borrowed Time is the most personal record Dave Warner has ever written—twelve songs shaped by close calls, quiet miracles, family bonds, and the unshakable faith that carried him through every turn. These stories reach back across decades: a boy who survived what should’ve ended him, a young man who walked away from near-drowning and war, and a husband learning that love and endurance often share the same porch light.

The album opens with the title track, a testimony of survival that anchors everything that follows. From there, the journey widens into the roads that defined him—some chosen, some endured, all guided by a hand he didn’t always see (“The Roads I Chose”). Determination becomes a rhythm in “Tackle It Before It Tackles You,” while “The Man I Learned From” honors the grit, humor, and imperfect goodness of a grandfather who left his mark in the simplest of ways.

Faith rises like a backbone through the middle of the record. “Bring Back Those Hymns” longs for the music that shaped a generation; “Two Bald Men and a Comb” lays the world’s modern noise bare with a wink and a warning; and “Small Town Rumors” turns that reflection inward, facing how today’s gossip cuts deeper than it once did. “Life Lessons” softens the edges with warmth and memory, recalling winter mornings, coffee steam, shared stories, and the wisdom passed down before time ran out.

The final act of the album leans fully into purpose. “Blind Faith” steps forward without a map, trusting the One who saved his life more than once. “Faith Is the Fire” lights the way through a world that feels darker by the day, and “Front Porch Talks” brings it home—two people, thirty years together, facing the hardest chapter yet with nothing but honesty, prayer, and the steady belief that they’re being led somewhere they cannot yet see.

The album closes with “The Christmas Prayer,” a moving reminder that miracles often arrive quietly, through strangers, through kindness, through hearts willing to listen.

Musically, Livin’ on Borrowed Time blends intimate storytelling with Americana warmth: acoustic guitars, fiddle, pedal steel, and arrangements that leave space for breath, testimony, and truth. It’s an album built not on nostalgia alone, but on gratitude—on the realization that every borrowed moment carries a purpose, and every road, even the rough ones, leads somewhere worth going.

In the end, this collection isn’t just about surviving. It’s about listening, trusting, remembering, loving deeply, and moving forward with open hands. It’s the sound of a man who knows he’s living on borrowed time—and intends to use every bit of it well.
