You are the best



You really are the best



Everybody's telling me



I should just let it be



Need to let go what's in my heart



Been a year since I've been free



But this city's killing me



Need to leave and make a brand new start



I tried, lord I tried



To feel something but I can't



I tried, lord I tried



To feel at home but I can't



No I can't



Bakersfield, I feel ya



You've got a lot of weight on your bones



One thing I must confess



Is you really are the best



At making me feel alone



A river runs through this town



Pulling everybody down



But then it leaves without a trace



Now I feel like I am stuck



With a busted beat up truck



And I got tattoos on my face



I tried, lord I tried



To feel something but I can't



I tried, lord I tried



To feel at home at home but I can't



No I can't



Bakersfield I feel ya



You've got a lot of weight on your bones



One thing I must confess



Is you really are the best



At making me feel at home



Home is where I found her



Standing there in the same place



It's where I left her last September



Annie girl I sure miss your face
