Bitter Creek
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 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
PS: and to be technically correct, the song was actually written and sang by Bernie Leadon, lead guitarist who left the band a few years later, hence a departure of the folk/country rock sound
