about

feat. Jeffrey Martin

lyrics

I got stuck here back in ‘61
When the children were still so young
Them Honky Tonks were so damn fun
You should have seen me dancing
And all the booze and all the benzedrine
Taught my babies how to cry themselves to sleep
As the parties would last for weeks
With those not so good timing men
And I’d get mouthy and they’d get rough
Hell most of them they weren’t that tough
I guess I just couldn’t get enough
Of the devil in this town

But if I had my way
I’d had just kept on driving
So far away
But now I'm here dying
And I’m crying
For this one last thing

Don't bury me in Bakersfield
I know what I have done
But eternity in Bakersfield
Wouldn’t wish that on anyone
Do not bury me in Bakersfield

I guess things they weren’t always bad
Had them good times with that guitar man
He was gentle, never raised a hand
And we could shut down every bar
And he would play that gypsy jazz
That big ol man, he could make dance
He gave this town everything he had
But it just weren’t enough
So he moved me to that ocean blue
Said, “Mama now it’s just me and you”
And he died there in ‘82
And here I am again

But if I had my way
I’d had just kept on driving
So far away
But now I'm here dying
And I’m crying
For this one last thing

Don't bury me in Bakersfield
I know what I have done
But eternity in Bakersfield
Wouldn’t wish that on anyone
Do not bury me in Bakersfield

Don't you dare bury me in Bakersfield
I know what I have done
But eternity in Bakersfield
Wouldn’t wish that on anyone
Do not bury me in Bakersfield
