Take me down that line Gonna tour that heavy load I can't seam to make it Make it on my own Turn the lights down low now Turn down our bed I can't seam to get you out of my head
Stranded here in Bakersfield So close yet so far far away Stranded here in Bakersfield You a million miles away I feel the heat coming down now Sweat runs down my face I can hardly fake it girl Fake it through this day Was it something that I said Or something I didn't do Eight-teen more hours girl Till I'm home to you Stranded here in Bakersfield So close yet so far far away Stranded here in Bakersfield Your a million miles away yeah So I walked out that lonely truck stop With my head hanging down Wondering How in 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 aint changed on the doors And there's still a spot for me On that big ol California king sized bed Stranded here in Bakersfield So close yet so far far away Stranded here in Bakersfield You a million miles away Wont you come see me in Bakersfield ohhhh I'm not a million miles away
