Paragraph Lyric
Well there's no more smoky bars in California
There ain't no wildlife left in Tennessee
But 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 Broadway
Waiting 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 Broadway
Waiting 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
