C F
It don't feel like California - in this bar in Bakersfield
G C
No one wants to be an actress - no one's hustlin' for a deal
F
Drinkin' beer straight from a bottle - hopin' broken hearts will heal
G C
It don't feel like California - in this bar in Bakersfield
Had my dinner at the Wool Growers - with the men who work the sheep
Too much nicotine and coffee - ain't no way I'm gonna sleep
Parking lot's all full of junkers - no respectful thief would steal
It don't feel like California - in this bar in Bakersfield.
F C
There's an honesty in places - where you still can see the stars
G C
Read the stories on the faces - of the drunks who fill the bars
F C
There's a truth that comes with whiskey - everytime a glass is filled
G C
It don't feel like California - in this bar in Bakersfield
There's a lady in the corner - wearin' her heart out on her sleeve
Waitin' for some man to tell her - any lie she can believe
There's a cowboy at the jukebox - that'll see her wish fullfilled
It don't feel like California - in this bar in Bakersfield
