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.

Free To Go Lyrics
Dwight Yoakam
Baby, now I understand
How time can alter any plan
Then gently lead you to know
Truth hopes lies will never show
That love only pauses for a while
And is always free to go.
Honey, I learned not to seek
Any promise hearts must keep
After mine had come to know
And disappointedly so
That love only pauses for a while
And is always free to go.
At every fading glance
I reach to take it in my hands
As if that touch might be the one last chance.
And though all those distant dreams
Seldom turn out what they seem
In the rush to let them grow
Their loss had taught me to know
That love only pauses for a while
And is always free to go.

Then gently lead you to know
Truth hopes lies will never show
That love only pauses for a while
And is always free to go.
Yeah, love only pauses for a while
And is always free to go...
