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 Pretend Lyrics
Dwight Yoakam
I'll make believe that the sight of her in my head's seldom seen.
And then insist that I can't still taste the inside of her kiss.
With luck in time, I might even fool myself about those lies:
Till there's no need, I'll make believe.
I'll just pretend that she really never left me in the end.
And all night long, swear right up and down, round here, there's nothin' wrong.
With work, my mind could cause the truth to get lost or hard to find,
But until then, I'll just pretend.
Instrumental break.
Oh, how I wish you could have seen her,
Come crawlin' back a-beggin me.
'Cause if you had, I wouldn't need her,
Like I do so desperately.
I'll just pretend that she really never left me in the end.
And all night long, swear right up and down, round here, there's nothin' wrong.
With work, my mind could cause the truth to get lost or hard to find,
But until then, I'll just pretend.
