Dm                         G
Once I was young and so unsure
Dm                           G   A
I'd try any ill to find the cure
Bm G
An old man told me
Bm E
Tried to scold me
Dm                        G  A
Whoa son, don't wade too deep
            Dm
in Bitter Creek.

Out where the desert meets the sky
Is where I go when I wanna hide
Oh, peyote (oh, peyote, oooh...)
She tried to show me (tried to show me)
You know there ain't no cause to weep
At Bitter Creek

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, oooh...)
No more runnin' (no more runnin')
I can't wait to see the old man's face
When I win the race
