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
