never bit a bullet like this

i've been abused and used and skinned up and bruised

and thrown from a moving train

i've been homeless

car less

lost in the wilderness out in the pourin' rain

i've been a business flop

spent a year on top of the most unwanted list

but i never bit a bullet like this. i've taken many a fall and i got through 'em all

but i've never been hurt this bad

you're making plans with a brand new man

and the pain is driving me mad

i've had to bite the bullet when things got tough

but the sea of love has never been this rough

and i've never been this far from shore

i never bit a bullet like this before

i never bit a bullet like this. i've been tied up

fried up

choked up and dried up

under a lot of stress

i've been burned down

turned down

been run out of town

up to my ears in a mess

i had a year go by with tears in my eyes

i didn't even want to exist

but i never bit a bullet like this. i've taken many a fall and i got through 'em all

but i've never been hurt this bad

you're making plans with a brand new man

and the pain is driving me mad

i've had to bite the bullet when things got tough

but the sea of love has never been this rough

and i've never been this far from shore

i never bit a bullet like this before

i never bit a bullet like this. i never bit a bullet like this. i never bit a bullet like this.
