Lyrics Beer Can Hill - Merle Haggard

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

Dancin' on beer can hill
Overlookin' Bakersfield
Remembering my first thrill
Dancin' on beer can hill

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 man of the year in Bakersfield
And I'm duckin' and dodgin' and dancin' out here in Bakersfield

Dancin' on beer can hill
Overlookin' Bakersfield
Remembering my first thrill
Dancin' on beer can hill

Dancin' on beer can hill
Overlookin' Bakersfield
Dancin' on beer can hill
Dancin' on Bakersfield
Dancin' on Bakersfield
Remembering my first thrill
Overlookin' Bakersfield
Dancin' on beer can hill

Overlookin' Bakersfield
Remembering my first thrill
Overlookin' Bakersfield
Dancin' onbeer can hill
