[Verse 1]
Once I was young and so unsure
I'd try any ill to find the cure

[Refrain]
An old man told me
Tried to scold me
"Woah, son, don't wade too deep in Bitter Creek"
Bitter Creek

[Verse 2]
Out where the desert meets the sky
Is where I go when I wanna hide

[Refrain]
Oh, peyote (Oh, peyote, ooh)
She tried to show me (Tried to show me)
You know there ain't no cause to weep at Bitter Creek
Bitter Creek

[Verse 3]
We're gonna hit the road for one last time
We can walk right in and steal 'em blind

[Refrain]
All that money (All that money, ooh)
No more runnin' (No more runnin')
And I can't wait to see the old man's face when I win the race
Bitter Creek
