The Bakersfield Sound
Here’s to the shitkick
from old Bakersfield:
the punctuation changed
out West; the sound
from old Bakersfield
felt funny to Nashville;
back East the sound
wasn’t kicking just yet.
Funny old Nashville,
our Bakersfield sound
will shitkick you yet;
ol’ Buck Owens beats
give Bakersfield’s sound
its back, all wide and pink
as a Buck Owens tuxedo
and glittery as a Telecaster.
In back of a wide pink
Dwight Yoakam Cadillac
glittering like a Telecaster
the music got faster,
but Dwight’s pink Cadillacs
came here to shitkick;
the music got faster
but the punctuation’s the same.
