Jullien, here are the lyrics except for the talking at the end. I have no idea what he is saying there.

A Bar In Bakersfield – Merle Haggard

Some years ago some stars and I formed this big band
They went on to be somebody and I’m their greatest fan
I helped write the music that set their ship a-sail
And I’m still playing guitar in a bar in Bakersfield

This town had a new sound and we found it on a gig
God bless the boys that used it and went off to make it big
I could-a left and done it too but I couldn’t leave this city
‘Cause she’s the dad-gum bar maid at a bar in Bakersfield

Hey, I could have busted out some years ago
But you, kept beggin’ me not to go
There were times when things were rough on us, but we never missed no meal
Existing, playin’ guitar in a bar in Bakersfield

Instrumental Break

I’ve been busy playin’ rhythm and learnin’ lead guitar
Had to stay and make a living, had no time to be a star
Oh, I’ll never make the big time and I’ll never be no wheel
Damn it, I put seven nights a week in this bar in Bakersfield

Hey, I could have busted out some years ago
Ah, but, you kept beggin’ me not to go
There were times when things were rough on us, but we never missed no meal
Existing, playin’ guitar in a bar in Bakersfield
I’ve been survivin’, playin’ guitar in a bar in Bakersfield

Hello, Gary

I'm Jullien from Romania, Europe, and I want to thank you AGAIN for your kindness!
You have reached the maximum capacity for your INBOX here at the COWBOYS LYRICS,
so you can not receive private messages.

That one... with MERLE HAGGARD, you were great !
I'm not a native english speaker, and I hope that you could help me with another little problem.
I have another oldie, an american-english song which IS NOT COUNTRY TYPE and
I hope you will not punish me for this request for lyrics.

These lyrics can not be found on the web,
the name of the song is
CAMEO - TRIBUTE TO BOB MARLEY
and it's reggae type.

I've uploaded it on mediafire

Maybe you can help me, please, to resolve this little problem...
Thank you for any decision you might take!

DAVID PARKER – LOVERS AND GAMBLERS

I was born to love someone, you were born to lie,
Nothin’ couldn’t kept me from your side
Oh, I was make to live old dreams, you were made to try
Every little trick to hook my pride.

[Chorus]
I want you tell me that you need me,
And take this broken heart away - yeah-yeah

Lovers and gamblers, from the cannonball pence
Hoboes and railroads are my loves and my friends,
Robbers and brokers, and what money can buy
Models and jokers know these tears that I cried
mmh, tears that I cried...

[Solo instrumental 1]

And you know my love for you goes stronger everyday
You’re just left an amateur for me,
I was goin’ slowly down with facts I couldn’t see
Till I opened up my eyes to see.

[Chorus]
I want you tell me that you need me,
And take this broken heart away - yeah-yeah

Lovers and gamblers, from the cannonball pence
Hoboes and railroads are my loves and my friends,
Robbers and brokers, and what money can buy
Models and jokers know these tears that I cried...
mmh, tears that I cried...


[Solo instrumental 2]

[Chorus]
I want you tell me that you need me,
And take this broken heart away - yeah-yeah [Modulation 1 half-tone]

Lovers and gamblers, from the cannonball pence
Hoboes and railroads are my loves and my friends,
Robbers and brokers, and what money can buy
Models and jokers know these tears that I cried,

Lovers and gamblers, from the cannonball pence
Hoboes and railroads are my loves and my friends,
Robbers and brokers, and what money can buy
Models and jokers know these tears that I cried...
