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 Just Take These Lyrics
Dwight Yoakam
(dwight yoakam)
I think that I will just take a memory
A small one that I know real well, then go
What Ill take is all the happy thoughts I can recall
But I know there wont be much that I can bear to touch
Chorus:
So Ill just take what my mind can stand
cause theres not a lot that you can hold
In trembling hands
Just these last few hopeful things that we left lay
Then quickly leave before any more
Get in my way
Chorus:
So Ill just take what my mind can stand
cause theres not a lot that you can hold
In trembling hands
