Guess it was back in '59
At the blackboard Saturday night
Old Buck would sing and Don would play
Man, they had a right
They knew they had their own thing
Between them going down
With a little strum and a little twang
It's that Bakersfield sound

I like that Bakersfield sound
Coming at me loud and long
There ain't nothing like a guitar
And an old Buck Owens song
Have you ever heard a steel guitar
Cry all night long
That's what it's like
With that Bakersfield sound

I looked up one Friday night
As the Hag took the stage
He sang about that prison life
And the one that walked away
He sang about old Lefty
And why Hank's not around
He moaned the blues
And Roy would play
That Bakersfield sound

I like that Bakersfield sound
Coming at me loud and long
There ain't nothing like a guitar
And an old Buck Owens song
Have you ever heard a steel guitar
Cry all night long
That's what it's like
With that Bakersfield sound

Back about 1968
Wynn Stewart was the rage
But his monster hit "Pretty World"
He blew us all away
That was real country music
I wish he was still around
To moan the blues and let us hear
That Bakersfield sound

I like that Bakersfield sound
Coming at me loud and long
There ain't nothing like a guitar
And an old Buck Owens song
Have you ever heard a steel guitar
Cry all night long
That's what it's like
With that Bakersfield sound

Have you ever heard Ralph Mooney play?

That's what it's like with that Bakersfield sound
