Thanks to Butch for posting the lyrics on his blog (and writing the song too!)
Verse 1
---------
Sunshine you heal just as much as you hurt.
Regret in my veins and blood on my shirt.
I sure must have had myself a personal best.
It takes filling my lungs up with smoke to get things off my chest.
Chorus 1
---------
Crossing the border,
wasted again,
With her number on a Canadian ten.
Verse 2
---------
Oh mother, oh mother why do 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.
Chorus 2
---------
You're home with the dishes,
And I'm out with my friends,
Placing bets with a Canadian ten.

La la la la... (chords as per verse)
Chorus 3
---------
North of the border,
A sin is a sin,
When you pay with a Canadian Ten.
Verse 3
---------
I searched for a reason to not search for you.
But I feel like there's no place I haven't been through.
I told myself don't fall in love when you don’t know their name.
But my eyes are straight-wired to my heart and just bypass my brain.
Chorus 4
---------
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.
