Barstow |
I headed west to Barstow |
Left my family |
Dreamin' of sierra gold |
And livin' by the sea |
But the desert’s so damn hot here |
And the water isn’t free |
And this ain’t what I thought California was supposed to be |
Oh, Barstow |
Oh, Barstow |
Your torture isn’t fair |
I left my home for riches but there ain’t gold nowhere |
Oh, Barstow |
Oh, Barstow |
I don’t know what’s keepin' me around |
The toughest godforsaken place that I have ever found |
I been workin' out in Barstow |
Every night and day |
I’ve been savin' up frustration and hidin' it away |
Somewhere in the blisterin' sun beneath the only tree |
This ain’t what I thought California was supposed to be |
Oh, Barstow |
I am so exhausted it ain’t fair |
I left my home for riches but there ain’t gold nowhere |
Oh, Barstow |
I don’t know what’s keepin' me around |
The toughest godforsaken place that I have ever found |
