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.

Guitars, Cadillacs Lyrics
Dwight Yoakam
(d. yoakam)
Girl you taught me how to hurt real bad and cry myself to sleep
You showed me how this town can shatter dreams
Another lesson about a naive fool that came to babylon
And found out that the pie dont taste so sweet
Chorus:
Now its guitars, cadillacs and hillbilly music
And lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
There aint no glamor in this tinseled land of lost and wasted lives
And painful scars are all thats left of me
But thank you girl for teaching me brand new ways to be cruel
And if I can find my mind now, I guess Ill just leave
Chorus:
And its guitars, cadillacs and hillbilly music
And lonely, lonely streets that I call home
Yeah my guitars, cadillacs and hillbilly music
Is the only thing that keeps me hanging on
Its the only thing that keeps me hanging on
Its the only thing that keeps me hanging on
