I've been abused and used and skinned up and bruised And thrown from a movin' 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, chocked 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 And 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 before I never bit a bullet like this
