Old Ninety-Nine

I'm driving down Old Ninety-Nine
Thinking 'bout a simpler time
I'm driving down Old Ninety-Nine
Through the San Joaquin
On the old Grapevine

I'm going down the old Ridge Route
Looking for a truer truth
I'm going down the old Ridge Route
Don't know where I'm going
Or what I'm gonna do.

I'm driving down Old Ninety-Nine
Thinking 'bout a simpler time
I'm driving down Old Ninety-Nine
Through the San Joaquin
On the old Grapevine

I once had a woman and I loved her true
For her there was nothing that I wouldn't do
But she put me out, sent me on my way
That's why I'm out here on this lonesome highway

I'm passing through old Bakersfield
A place that I once knew so well
I'm driving through old Bakersfield
Don't know where I'm going
Only time will tell

I'm driving down Old Ninety-Nine
Thinking 'bout a simpler time
I'm driving down Old Ninety-Nine
Through the San Joaquin
On the old Grapevine.
