I was takin' a walk through a small country city
Just seein' what there was to see
I sat down to read a historical marker
When i felt someone sit down by me

He leaned on the tank that was helping his breathing
Said, "it's bad when your body is gone"
I said, "this is sure a nice town that you've got here"
He said, "yeah, but there's no place like home"

I wish i could see bakersfield
Where the oil wells are pumpin', the oranges are bloomin'
And the grapevine winds down from the hill
And i close my eyes i can touch the clear skies
At the corner where i used to live
Oh i wish i could see bakersfield

He said, "you don't ever know where life's gonna lead you
When you go ramblin' off down the track"
Sometimes i wish i'd never left california
Then i couldn't want to go back

He said, "you know, you know
I used to be a well-known country singer
Made my first record back in 1953
At one time buck owens was my lead guitar player
And ol' hag once wrote a song about me"

Oh i wish i could see bakersfield
Oh i wish i could see bakersfield
