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      Hey Sammy, lift that thing out
