Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once I was young and so unsure
I tried any ill to find the cure
An old man told me
Tryin' to scold me
Whoa, son, don't wade too deep
In Bitter Creek
(Bitter Creek)
[Verse 2]
Out where the desert meets the sky
And where I go when I wanna hide
Oh, peyote (Oh, peyote)
She tried to show me (Tried to show me)
[Verse 3]
You know there ain't no cause to weep
At Bitter Creek
(Bitter Creek)
[Verse 4]
We're gonna hit the road for one last time
We can walk right in and steal 'em blind
All that money (All that money, ooh)
No more runnin' (No more runnin')
[Verse 5]
And I can't wait to see the old man's face
When I win the race
(Bitter Creek)
