Bakersfield, California
I.
In the distance music
blended into the night
saying: come join in
On Edison Highway
or anywhere, really
II.
Bakersfield "the country music
capital of the west"
Oildale "a suburb of
Bakersfield" said Haggard
battled for its soul
like the devil versus man
III.
Today it is all young hat acts
along with teen blondes.
The clubs are long-ah-gon-ay,
the fiddles are long-ah-gon-ay
Bakersfield as capital long-ah-gon-ay.
But, oh, wait while we
dream of those days,
said a new bunch moved in.
