don't make me go to bakersfield...

i'm all alone

just spinning my wheels

no truck stops, honky tonks

or back room deals

don't make me go to Bakersfield!!!

i'm feeling mighty "haggard"

the "buck" stops here

the roads are long and dusty

and i think i need a beer

all my friends have settled down

or they've disappeared

i'm preaching revolution

which is something they fear

miles of empty desert

and the sun beating down

meth labs and rodeos

a tired desperate town

don't make me go to bakersfield

where i sleep in that cheap motel

dream of home cooked meals

no truck stops, honky tonks

or back room deals

don't make me go to bakersfield!!!
