Never Bit A Bullet Like This

(duet with george jones)

(mark petersen/jim foster)

(track 11 - time 2:21)



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
