Social Distortion - Bakersfield lyrics

rate me

Take me down that ladder

I'm towing a heavy load,

I can't seem to make it,

Make it on my own!

Turn the lights down low now!

Turn down our bed,

I can't seem to get you

Out of my head!

Chorus:

Stranded here in Bakersfield

So close yet, so far away

Stranded here in Bakersfield

I'm a million miles away.

Where our life's going down now

I can hardly say

I can hardly fake it

I can't face this strain

Was it something that I said,

Or something I didn't do?

18 more hours girl

'Til I'm home with you.

Chorus:

Stranded here in Bakersfield

So close yet, so far away

Stranded here in Bakersfield

I'm a million miles away.

"So I walk down that lonely truck stop

With my head hanging down low

Wondering how the hell I got myself into this mess

And more importantly how I was going to get myself out of it.

So I wrote a song for you baby girl,

And I hope that when I return home

The locks ain't changed on the doors,

And that's still a spot for me on that big California king sized bed!”

Chorus:

Stranded here in Bakersfield

So close yet, so far away

Stranded here in Bakersfield

I'm a million miles away.

Won't you come see me in Bakersfield

I'm a million miles away <br />

<br />
