Bakersfield Songtext
von 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
