Bakersfield - Lonely Avenue

You are the best

You really are the best

Everybody’s telling me

I should just let it be

Need to let go what’s in my heart

Been a year since I’ve been free

But this city’s killing me

Need to leave and make a brand new start

I tried, lord I tried

To feel something but I can’t

I tried, lord I tried

To feel at home but I can’t

No I can’t

Bakersfield, I feel ya

You’ve got a lot of weight on your bones

One thing I must confess

Is you really are the best

At making me feel alone

A river runs through this town

Pulling everybody down

But then it leaves without a trace

Now I feel like I am stuck

With a busted beat up truck

And I got tattoos on my face

I tried, lord I tried

To feel something but I can’t

I tried, lord I tried

To feel at home at home but I can’t

No I can’t

Bakersfield I feel ya

You’ve got a lot of weight on your bones

One thing I must confess

Is you really are the best

At making me feel at home

Home is where I found her

Standing there in the same place

It’s where I left her last September

Annie girl I sure miss your face
