Purveyor of the bakersfield sound, country singer-songwriter Dwight Yoakam grew up in Columbus, Ohio before heading west and finding a home two doors down in Bakersfield, CA. "Honky Tonk Man" and "Guitars and Cadillacs" are classic songs in their own right, but nearly every song Yoakam churns out stays true to his sound and finds popularity among modern country fans, despite the saturation of the pop-oriented contemporary Nashville sound. The most recent release, "Blame the Vain" continues in the routine of solid albums from Mr. Yoakam.

Bury Me Lyrics
Dwight Yoakam
(d. yoakam)
Chorus:
Bury me along the big sandy
Down in the blue gray mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does tremble
Now don't you mourn for me when my soul is free
Woman don't you cry
Just bury me along the big sandy
Under a blue kentucky sky
This old town of sin, it's about to do me in
I don't know how much i can stand
With my knees on the street and my heart at their feet
I'm forced to beg from satan's hand
Chorus:
So bury me along the big sandy
Down in the blue gray mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does tremble
Now don't you mourn for me when my soul is free
Woman don't you cry
Just bury me along the big sandy
Under a blue kentucky sky
When i came to this land i was strong and i could stand
But now i've somehow gone astray
Yet i still see the truth in the teachings of my youth
And i know that the lord ain't turned away
Chorus:
So bury me along the big sandy
Down in the blue gray mountains
Rest my soul in those hills of coal
Until this old earth does tremble
Now don't you mourn for me when my soul is free
Woman don't you cry
Just bury me along the big sandy
Under a blue kentucky sky
Under a blue kentucky sky
