Sunshine, you heal as much as you hurt

With regret in my veins and blood on my shirt

Sure must have had myself a personal best

It takes filling my lungs up with smoke

To get things off my chest



Now, I'm crossing the border

Wasted again

With a number

From a Canadian ten



Oh Mother, oh Mother

Why must 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



And you're home with the dishes

And I'm out with my friends

Placing bets

With a Canadian ten



And North of the border

A sin is a sin

When you pay 

With a Canadian ten



I've searched for a reason to not search for you

I feel like there's no place I haven't been through

I told myself 'don't fall in love if you don't know their name'

But my eyes are straight wired to my heart

And 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
