I got a double wide in my own merlot vineyard
I got plenty of space to park my dually truck
I never have to deal with la traffic
Life is good they call me the king of bakersfield

I work from dusk to dawn for paramount pictures
Set carpenter and all around handy man
Back in bakersfield I got a sinaloan beauty
Life is good they call me king of bakersfield

We got wide open spaces
For my friends to come drink beer
We got a stage in the back with band
Two stepping all night long

I got some motorcycle riding neighbors
We never have no trouble round here
All my friends say I live like a king in bakersfield

Do what you want if you ain't hurting no one
Ain't nobody’s business how you live your life
I'm a red state union man from california
Life is good they call me king of bakersfield
