[Verse 1] Once I was young and so unsure I'd try any ill to find a cure An old man told me Tried to scold me 'Whoa, son, don't wade to deep in Bitter Creek' (Bitter Creek) Out where the desert meets the sky Is where I go when I want to hide Oh, peyote (oh,peyote,mm) She tried to show me (tried to show me) You know there aren't no cause to weep At Bitter Creek
(Bitter Creek) [Chorus] Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo [Verse 2] We're going to hit the road for one last time We can walk right in and steal them blind All that money (all that money,ooh) No more running (no more running) I can't wait to see the old man's face When I win the race (Bitter Creek) [Chorus]
