Translation
Bilingual
I headed west to Barstow, left my family
Dreamin' of Sierra gold and livin' by the sea
But the desert's so damn hot here and the water isn't free
And this ain't what I thought California was supposed to be
ย
Oh Barstow, oh Barstow
Your torture isn't fair
I left my home for riches
But there ain't gold nowhere
Oh Barstow, I don't know what's keeping me around
The toughest God-forsaken place that I have ever found
I've been workin' out in Barstow every night and day
I've been savin' up frustration and hidin' it away
Somewhere in the blisterin' sun beneath the only tree
This ain't what I thought California was supposed to be
ย
Oh Barstow, I am so exhausted it ain't fair
I left my home for riches
But there ain't gold nowhere
Oh Barstow, I don't know what's keeping me around
The toughest God-forsaken place that I have ever found
Oh, Barstow
Oh, Barstow
