Beer Can Hill - Merle Haggard

Well, I learned how to walk and I learned how to run in Bakersfield

Should’ve done time over things I’d done in Bakersfield

I tasted my first taste of romance in Bakersfield

I learned how to fight and I learned how to dance in Bakersfield

Dancin' on Beer Can Hill

Overlookin' Bakersfield

Remembering my first thrill

Dancin' on Beer Can Hill

I made part of my livin' in a honky tonk bar in Bakersfield

Picked a little cotton and a lotta guitar in Bakersfield

Well you couldn’t do better but you won’t do bad in Bakersfield

Slow dancin' out here is sort of a fad in Bakersfield

I drank a lot of beer since I was a kid in Bakersfield

Did a little time over things I did in Bakersfield

Ten years later made me of the year in Bakersfield

And I’m duckin' and dodgin' and dancin' out here in Bakersfield
