Beer Can Hill Lyrics - 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
