Bakersfield Dust

My heart is covered in that Bakersfield dust
It just don't seem to come off
She rode a cowboy and she saved her a horse
And now I'm paying the cost

I met that little girl one night in LA
She said she had a better place we could stay
Where things sound different and the people are real
Out there in ole Bakersfield

Two-step dancing at Buck's Crystal Palace
Cuttin' up a rug clear from here to Dallas
She saddled up for an all night ride
And then she turned around and told me goodbye

My heart is covered in that Bakersfield dust
It just don't seem to come off
She rode a cowboy and she saved her a horse
And now I'm paying the cost

I tried to call her but she wouldn't pick up
I grabbed my guitar and I hopped in my truck
I gassed her up and then I flew up the 5
Up past the Kern County line

I was feelin' thirsty so I stopped in at Trout's
That's when I seen her and some dude making out
But when he turned around I couldn't believe
That motherfucker looked exactly like me

My heart is covered in that Bakersfield dust
It just don't seem to come off
She rode a cowboy and she saved her a horse
And now I'm paying the cost

My heart is covered in that Bakersfield dust
It just don't seem to come off
She rode a cowboy and she saved her a horse
And now I'm paying the cost
And now I'm paying the cost
