Its "still a spot for me" not spunk at the end of the spoken part. I'll take a listen when I get home to my computer to help with more.

Bakersfield

i cant seem to get you
out of my head
stranded here in bakersfield
(help) to fall away
stranded here in bakersfield
im a million miles away
(help) coming down now

i can only think it
i cant think (help)

or something i didnt know
(help)
(help)
stranded here in bakersfield
(helo) to fall away
wont you come see me in bakersfield
youre a million miles away
"so i walk down that lonely truck stop
with my head hanging down low
im trying to figure out
how did i ever get myself into this mess
and how the fuck i was going to get myself out of it
and then it came to me ladies and gentlemen
i asked myself
what do you think Buck Owens done is this situation
then it came to be clear as a bell
he would gone in the old back room of his
and grabbed an old guitar
and ladies and gentlemen he would of wrote another love song
but not just another lover song
the love song of all times
the kind of song that parts the clouds
and this one goes out for you baby girl
and i hope when i return home
the locks aint changed on the doors
and there still a spunk for me
on that big ol california king size bed
standed here in bakersfield
(help)
stranded here in bakersfield
youre a million miles away
wont you come see me in bakersfield
im a million miles away [img]graemlins/storm.gif[/img]

<font size="2" face="verdana, arial">I thought he says "I can't face this day"...Where our life's going down now
I can hardly say
I can hardly fake it
I can't face this strain
Man I hope they put that song on the next record. Have they been playing Bakersfield at any of the recent shows?
Hope it doesnt dissapear like "I cant run no more"
As I hear the song:
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
Stranded here in Bakersfield
So close yet so far far away
Stranded here in Bakersfield
I 'm a million miles away yeah
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
Stranded here in Bakersfield
so close yet so far far away
Won't you come see me in Bakersfield
You're a million miles away

You might be right, the version I have is the one from a show in Washington State somewhere, It almost sounds like he says "I can't face this turn" I just have a hard time making it out so I went with what rhymed and what made sense. I'll listen again and see if I can hear "day".Originally posted by MikeAZ:

so, i checked out the version from the gmail account... and my question is- does "california" guy detract from the recording's awesomeness, or add to it?
i also wanted to say thanks to all the tapers & the great people behind sdsickboy... i'm blown away by all that cool shit i would have never heard or been able to find without it.
I would say "california guy" definitely detracts from it...but oh well sounds like he was havin a good time [img]graemlins/thumbs_up.gif[/img]
Most definatly detracts mostly because its the name of a size. Its like a french guy in a restaurant yelling "Woohoo France" if someone orders french fries.
I picture him as the ANNOYING drunk guy. [img]graemlins/beer.gif[/img]
