"Bitter Tears" lyrics

"Bitter Tears"

Bitter tears keep me going
Through the years, freely flowing
What have you done?
Only a gun could stop these bitter tears

The endless streets I walk along
You made them seem pretty
But now I dream in country songs
And wake in New York City
And the only beauty here
Is the moon seen through the tear

Bitter tears keep me going
Through the years, freely flowing
What have you done?
Only a gun could stop these bitter tears

I cry because it looks so good
I cry, why not? It's free
And there's nothing more interesting
Than crying constantly
And as I tell everyone
Crying all the time is fun

Bitter tears keep me going
Through the years, freely flowing
What have you done?
Only a gun could stop these bitter tears
