Beer Can Hill

(album: 1996 - 1996)

Well, I learned how to walk and I learned how to run in Bakersfield
I 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

Dancing on Beer Can Hill
Overlooking Bakersfield
Remembering my first thrill
Dancing on Beer Can Hill

I made part of my living 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 dancing out here is sort of a fad in Bakersfield

Dancing on Beer Can Hill
Overlooking Bakersfield
Remembering my first thrill
Dancing on Beer Can Hill

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 man of the year in Bakersfield
And I'm ducking and dodging and dancing out here in Bakersfield

Dancing on Beer Can Hill
Overlooking Bakersfield
Remembering my first thrill
Dancing on Beer Can Hill

Dancing on Beer Can Hill
Overlooking Bakersfield
Dancing on Beer Can Hill..
