A Bar In Bakersfield |
| Some years ago some stars and I formed this big band |
| They went on to be somebody and I’m their greatest fan |
| I helped write the music that set their ship a-sail |
| And I’m still playing guitar in a bar in Bakersfield |
| This town had a new sound and we found it on a gig |
| God bless the boys that used it and went off to make it big |
| I could’ve left and done it too but I couldn’t leave this city |
| 'Cause she’s the dad-gum bar maid at a bar in Bakersfield |
| Hey, I could have busted out some years ago |
| But you kept beggin' me not to go |
| There were times when things were rough on us but we never missed no meal |
| Existing, playin' guitar in a bar in Bakersfield |
| I’ve been busy playin' rhythm and learnin' lead guitar |
| Had to stay and make a living, had no time to be a star |
| Oh, I’ll never make the big time and I’ll never be no wheel |
| Damn it, I’ve booked seven nights a week in this bar in Bakersfield |
| Hey, I could have busted out some years ago |
| Ah, but you kept beggin' me not to go |
| There were times when things were rough on us but we never missed no meal |
| Existing, playin' guitar in a bar in Bakersfield |
| I’ve been survivin', playin' guitar in a bar in Bakersfield |
