Well there's no more smoky bars in California There ain't no wildlife left in TennesseeBut I keep on living every song I'm singing And they're 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 they're 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 BroadwayWaiting for my turn to sing my dreams I'm just a California boy with my old guitar And they're 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 BroadwayWaiting for my turn to sing my dreams I'm just a California boy with my old guitar And they're trying to put and end to guys like me Yeah, they're trying to put an end to guys like me
