Once I was young and so unsure

I'd try any ill to find the cure

An old man told me

Tryin' to scold me

"Oh, son, don't wade to deep in Bitter Creek,"

(Bitter Creek)

Out where the desert meets the sky

Is where I go when I wanna hide



Oh, peyote (oh,peyote,mm)

She tried to show me

(tried to show me)

You know there ain't no cause to weep

at Bitter Creek

(Bitter Creek)

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

Doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo



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')

I can't wait to see the old man's face

When I win the race

(Bitter Creek)

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo,

Doo doo doo doo doo

Doo.........
