From the recording Buckeye
Lyrics
BITTER GIRL
(Cheley Tackett/Robert K. Wolf)
Bone dry without a drop of rain
You looked for love in vain
Bitter girl
Good man (at) least for a little while
Until he stole your smile
Bitter girl
Dead-on right, you’ve had a hard life
Scars don’t heal easy as they used to/is that what’s killin’ you
(You) live each breath fightin’ with an enemy/haunts your memory
Angry at an angry world, bitter girl
Blue sky, you say it weighs you down
You learned to hang the clouds
Bitter girl
Stranded out here where nothin’ grows
You and your shadow
Bitter girl
Dead on right, another day goes by
(Repeat Chorus)
Sour years salt filled tears left a bad taste on your lips
Think you’re stuck but you make your own luck with love & forgiveness, sweet forgiveness
(Repeat Chorus)
