Bite My Tongue


I waltzed into Saskatchewan

I knew for sure you were putting me on

I thought about how the West was won

I ate the dust that the wind had spun
and I got nothing left to hide

bite my tongue and swallow my pride

I rode in to Portage la Prairie

an Act of Contrition and a Hail Mary
I saw a fork in the winding road

spun the dial and I broke the code
and
I just staged your homicide

bite my tongue and swallow my pride

I walked down to Caribou
a
knife in my hand and a picture of you
right before I went to sleep

saw the northern sky and I started to weep
I can’t keep it locked inside

bite my tongue and swallow my pride

I washed up in Sault Ste. Marie

a terrible sight for a man to see

thought I drifted but now I know

I came undone some time ago

and I’ve got nothing left to hide

bite my tongue and swallow my pride
