the feelings left for you
Caught up in a moment that
While I'm doing time here
You'll never know how lost I feel
Till you've done time in Bakersfield
A heart could break and never heal
Doing time in Bakersfield
Standing on a bridge with
Thoughts of you drift by me
so I watch them while I can
that this dream will not be real
Still doing time here in Bakersfield
You'll never know how lost I feel
I'm gonna break these chains
Put my name on a brand new deal
We're doin' time in Bakersfield
Playin' honky -tonk sonatas
You bit my mind so I can't find
the feelings left for you
that I know is standing still
While I'm doing time here in
You'll never know how lost I feel
Till you've done time in Bakersfield
A heart could break and never heal
Doing time in Bankersfield.
A heart could break and never heal.
Doing time in Bankersfield.
