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 is
Is the world seen through the tears
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
Cryin' 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
