BUTCH WALKER - Canadian Ten lyrics

rate me

<br>

Sunshine, you heal as much as you hurt<br />

With regret in my veins and blood on my shirt<br />

Sure must have had myself a personal best<br />

It takes filling my lungs up with smoke<br />

To get things off my chest<br />

<br />

Now, I'm crossing the border<br />

Wasted again<br />

With a number<br />

From a Canadian ten<br />

<br />

Oh Mother, oh Mother<br />

Why must you complain<br />

I grew up alright<br />

So don't be ashamed<br />

My mouth has been cleaner <br />

And I may have lost all my faith<br />

Til I believe in myself<br />

I can't give my conscience away<br />

<br />

And you're home with the dishes<br />

And I'm out with my friends<br />

Placing bets<br />

With a Canadian ten<br />

<br />

And North of the border<br />

A sin is a sin<br />

When you pay <br />

With a Canadian ten<br />

<br />

I've searched for a reason to not search for you<br />

I feel like there's no place I haven't been through<br />

I told myself 'don't fall in love if you don't know their name'<br />

But my eyes are straight wired to my heart<br />

And bypass my brain<br />

<br />

Sometimes I'm forgetful<br />

So I'll start at the end<br />

And call the number<br />

On this Canadian ten<br />

<br />

And call the number<br />

On this Canadian ten

<br><br><br><br>
