Well There's No More Smokey Bars In California,
There Ain't No Wildlife Left In Tennessee,
But I Keep On Living Every Song I'm Singing,
And Their Trying To Put An End To Guys Like Me,
All That's Left In Bakersfield Is A Jukebox,
And It's Haunted By Old Songs And Memories,
It's Getting Hard To Find A Place To Play My Guitar,
And Their Trying To Put An End To Guys Like Me,

Well, I'd Like To Find A Place Where Love Surrounds Me,
Some Town Where They Don't Mind Me Hanging Around,
A Place Where Life Don't Move To Fast,
And What You Are Is Not A Thing Of The Past,
Where You Can Land Your Dreams On Solid Ground,
Well, I'm Sitting On A Barstool Down On Broadway,
Waiting For My Turn To Sing My Dreams,
I'm Just A California Boy With My Old Guitar,
And Their Trying To Put And End To Guys Like Me,

Well, I'd Like To Find A Place Where Love Surrounds Me,
Some Town Where They Don't Mind Me Hanging Around,
A Place Where Life Don't Move To Fast,
And What You Are Is Not A Thing Of The Past,
Where You Can Land Your Dreams On Solid Ground,
Well, I'm Sitting On A Barstool Down On Broadway,
Waiting For My Turn To Sing My Dreams,
I'm Just A California Boy With My Old Guitar,
And Their Trying To Put And End To Guys Like Me,

Yeah Their Trying To Put An End To Guys Like Me
