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.

I’ll Be Gone Lyrics
Dwight Yoakam
(d. yoakam)
I watch as you take off your clothes and slip under the sheets
Then I turn and kick the boots off my feet
I pull you close without a word cause theres no need to speak
Girl, beauty like yours is hard to beat
Chorus:
But Ill be gone in the morning, in the morning Ill be gone
cause Im not one for hanging on
Please dont think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
Just a look from those fiery eyes can all but erase
The memory of any others face
And the passion they unleash could cause me to misplace
And lose all track of time without a trace
Chorus:
But Ill be gone in the morning, in the morning Ill be gone
cause Im not one for hanging on
Please dont think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
The sun intrudes and throws across the room its golden tracks
Shake the dreams, now its back to facts
As I turn to leave I know you had what so many lack
Maybe some day thatll bring me back
Chorus:
But Ill be gone in the morning, in the morning Ill be gone
cause Im not one for hanging on
Please dont think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
But Ill be gone in the morning, in the morning Ill be gone
cause Im not one for hanging on
Please dont think that you done something wrong
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
In the morning when you wake and find me gone
