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 Was There Lyrics
Dwight Yoakam
I was there
I was there
When love crashed and burned
I was there
I was there when love came around with sweet, warm kisses
I was there when it burned into desire
I was there when it ran into a raging river
And then turned into a runaway wildfire
I was there
I was there
When love came around
I was there
And one thing for certain
I did all the hurtin'
At love's final curtain
I was there
Solo
I was there when love came in like a living tornado
I was there when it blew out of control
I was there when something quickly turned
Into nothing
Just a hopeless, helpless dream gone up in smoke
