craig morgan - i wish i could see bakersfield lyrics
(buddy cannon)
i was takin’ a walk through a small country city
just seem’ 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
when 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
recitation:
he said “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”
i wish i could see bakersfield
where the oil wells are pumpin’
the oranges are bloomin’
and the grapevine winds down from the hill
when 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
oh i wish i could see bakersfield
