canadian ten

Butch Walker

Sunshine you heal just as much as you hurt
Regret in my veins and blood on my shirt
I sure must have had myself a personal best
It takes filling my lungs up with smoke
to get things off my chest

Crossing the border
wasted again
With her number on a Canadian ten

Oh mother, oh mother why do you complain?
I grew up alright so don t be ashamed
My mouth has been cleaner and I may have lost all my faith
Til I believe in myself I can t give my conscience away

You re home with the dishes
And I m out with my friends
Placing bets with a Canadian ten

North of the border
A sin is a sin
When you pay with a Canadian Ten

I searched for a reason to not search for you
But I feel like there s no place I haven t been through
I told myself don t fall in love
when you don t know their name
But my eyes are straight-wired to my heart
and just bypass my brain

Sometimes I m forgetful
So I ll start at the end
And call the number on this Canadian ten
And call the number on this Canadian ten
