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 Got You Lyrics
Dwight Yoakam
(dwight yoakam)
Ive had to buy back damn near everything I own
From a little man whos name is saul
And has a lot of money to loan
I drive a beat up 67 chevrolet
With a torn up seat
That pokes a brand new hole in my back near every day
I got a letter from the folks over at bell
Just to let me know for my next phone call
I could walk outside and yell
Hey, I know my life seems a mess
But honey, things to me still look real swell
Chorus:
cause Ive got you to see me through
Yeah, Ive got you to chase my blues
Ive got you to ease my pain
Yeah, Ive got you, girl, to keep me sane
So let them do what they want to do
cause it dont matter as long as Ive got you
Ive got the landlord breathing down my neck for rent
He dont give a damn about my kids or where the money was spent
And after all those years of payin union dues
It sure didnt seem to count for much when we got our layoff news
I got a note from the man over at the bank
Said the next 10 gallons of gas I buy wont be going in my tank
Hey, I know I might seem near dead
But honey, I think I might just get well
Chorus:
cause Ive got you to see me through
Yeah, Ive got you to chase my blues
Ive got you to ease my pain
Honey, Ive got you, girl, to keep me sane
So let them do what they want to do
cause it dont matter as long as Ive got you
Yeah, let them go right ahead and sue
cause it dont matter as long as Ive got you
