Merle Haggard

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
Solo
Key Change - Move Capo to 3 and play same songs
I drank a lot of beer since I was a kid in Bakersfield
Did a little time over things I did in Bakersfield
10 years later made me of the year in Bakersfield
And I?m duckin and dodgin? and dancin? out here in Bakersfield
