Lyrics
Bonnie never took the spotlight
From the man who made it shine
She loved to sing Buck?s honest words
But gladly stood behind
He took the sound of Bakersfield
And shared it with the world
But never really left the town he loved
Their souls created music
And their love created sons
The common thread they shared through life
Had only just begun
Although they traveled different roads
They came back home to stay
And now they are together again
Bonnie and Buck and Bakersfield
The names recall the sound
Of country roots with rock guitars they played
Now they?re looking down upon the valley that they loved
But the sound will never pass away
Now fate?s unbroken circle
United them once more
And now they are together again
In his final hours
Buck was on the stage
Then he took a final bow
And turned the final page
When he?d been gone for thirty days
Bonnie got her wish
They stopped the world and let her off that day
Bonnie and Buck and Bakersfield
The names recall the sound
Of country roots and with rock guitars they played
Now they?re looking down upon the valley that they loved
But the sound will never pass away
Now fate?s unbroken circle
United them once more
And now they are together again
Now they are?together again
