Should've done time over things I'd done in Bakersfield
I tasted my first taste of romance in Bakersfield
I learned how to fight and I learned how to dance in Bakersfield
Dancin' on Beer Can Hill
Overlookin' Bakersfield
Remembering my first thrill
Dancin' on Beer Can Hill
I made part of my livin' in a honky tonk bar in Bakersfield
Picked a little cotton and a lotta guitar in Bakersfield
Well you couldn't do better but you won't do bad in Bakersfield
Slow dancin' out here is sort of a fad in Bakersfield
I drank a lot of beer since I was a kid in Bakersfield
Did a little time over things I did in Bakersfield
Ten years later made me of the year in Bakersfield
And I'm duckin' and dodgin' and dancin' out here in Bakersfield
Well, I learned how to walk and I learned how to run in Bakersfield Should've done time over things I'd done in Bakersfield I tasted my first taste of romance in Bakersfield I learned how to fight and I learned how to dance in Bakersfield Dancin' on Beer Can Hill Overlookin' Bakersfield Remembering my first thrill Dancin' on Beer Can Hill I made part of my livin' in a honky tonk bar in Bakersfield Picked a little cotton and a lotta guitar in Bakersfield Well you couldn't do better but you won't do bad in Bakersfield Slow dancin' out here is sort of a fad in Bakersfield I drank a lot of beer since I was a kid in Bakersfield Did a little time over things I did in Bakersfield Ten years later made me of the year in Bakersfield And I'm duckin' and dodgin' and dancin' out here in Bakersfield Explain Request ×
