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
