Lyrics

Tattoos runnin' down both his arms told the story of his life
Places he'd been, women he'd loved, and some crazy long lost nights
Well, I bought us a round, said, "
Tell me 'bout the way it was back then
Any place you wanna go back to, or a place you've never been"
Said, "Well, I've never been to Bakersfield, I've never hopped a train
I've never seen them old, old fields where Haggard learned to sing
You give me one cold beer and a dive bar where the Telecasters came
'Cause I've never been to Bakersfield"
Talked about how Buck got him through the jungle back in '69
Now, "Sing me back home" has a whole other
Meaning when you're on the other side
He said, "I've done about all I wanted to, some things I won't confess
But I'd trade it all now for a getaway
Driver in a fast car headed west"
"'Cause I've never been to Bakersfield, I've never hopped a train
I've never seen them old, old fields where Haggard learned to sing
Give me one cold beer and a dive bar where the Telecasters came
'Cause I've never been to Bakersfield", yep
Just outside of Winslow, he leaned back in his seat
Said, "If I die before we get there
Son, lay me down in the dusty streets"
Because I've never been to Bakersfield, I never hopped a train
I've never seen them old, old fields where Haggard learned to sing
Give me one cold beer and a dive bar where the Telecasters came
'Cause I've never been to Bakersfield
Never been to Bakersfield
Headed out to Bakersfield
Almost to Bakersfield
