Dwight Yoakam - Fast As You Lyrics






Maybe someday I'll be strong
Maybe it won't be long
I'll be the one who's tough, yeah
You'll be the one who's got it rough

It won't be long
And maybe I'll be real strong

Maybe I'll do things right
Maybe I'll start tonight
You'll learn to cry like me, girl
Baby, let's just wait and see

Maybe I'll start tonight
And do things right

You'll control me, oh, so boldly
Rule me 'til I'm free
The pain that shakes me finally makes me
Get up off of my knees
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Maybe I'll be fast as you
Maybe I'll break hearts too
But I think that you'll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around

Maybe I'll break hearts
And be as fast as you, uh

You'll control me, oh, so boldly
Rule me 'til I'm free
The pain that shakes me finally makes me
Get up off of my knees

Maybe I'll be fast as you
Maybe I'll break hearts too
I think that you'll slow down
When your turn to hurt comes around

Maybe I'll break hearts
And be as fast as you
Maybe I'll break hearts
And be as fast as you

Oh, sookie

Maybe someday I'll be strong
Maybe it won't be long
I'll be the one who's strong
You'll be the one who's got it rough

You'll be the one who's got it rough

    I grew up listening to him through my dad. He was a big fan of Dwight long time ago I grew to like some of his songs. :) I missed him when he came through Columbus Ohio last year but if he comes through again I'd definitely go see him hopefully meet and greet and get a signed autograph for my dad as a birthday present and a photo with him 😊👍

The old man said, " You did real good up there son! We had a good time dancing... Thank you"! That was a really cool moment! Thanks Dwight!!

  60. c.... l....

    NO'you youngest hhasn't seen the reallilly of this world












    That cound be unheaty for you

  61. B.... ....

    @acdcfan125 get any of these young bucks to explain what "county" is and they wouldnt have a fucken clue, yes dwight is COUNTRY guys, but he is also country-rock as well. they're his 2 main genres, at least he isnt dubstep,

  62. A.... ....

    @0negative82 Oh yes I can ... or at least one who wears jeans that are equally tight ... Robert Plant. ;o].

    A.... ....

    AnnHattieAnn You got that right, for those of us who made it thru the 70's, we did have the sexiest man alive in those daze.....chk out some live Zeppelin concerts on YouTube, you'll be shocked✌👅👅☺

    A.... ....

    None of them can hold a candle to Dwight Yoakam.. Even now.. He is in a league of his own

  63. t.... ....

    @thecowboy09 Dude.... Download Firefox and get adblock pro addon. That simple.

  64. T.... B....

    ouch! ;D

  65. J.... J....

    A real crowd pleasing performance! Thumbs Up!!!

  66. C.... ....

    Sorry, Honey, Dwight is Rock-a-Billy. When the Hillbillies went to town during the Great Depression and mingled music. It is a distinct sound, but not pure rock. Boy was ahead of his time.

    C.... ....

    Cow boy hat and singing through the nose does not make it not rock n roll..actually the band makes it rock..it played MTV for a year for crisake..

  67. R.... C....

    Really nice!

  68. R.... C....

    Oh, yeah!

  69. p.... ....

    Dwight at his best!!!

  70. A.... ....

    *Random Thought* I can think of only one other pair of legs in all of musicdom (exclusing Elvis, of course) that are just that S E X Y - and that's Robert Plant ... back in the day. *wipes sweat off upper lip* Day-ummm! Dwight.

    A.... ....

    I don't think Elvis was as sexy!!

  71. A.... ....

    How can a song about a broken heart be so damned sexy? Only. Dwight. Yoakam. Yummm.

  72. F.... N....

    One of my favorite songs of all time of any genre. The only thing that could make this song better is if Lemmy from Motorhead was playing on this song. his signature bass sound would be unreal for this song.

  73. M.... ....

    @harrigd464 i agree with harrigd464. the country music now is damn near if not the same as the teen pop crap thats out there. When I was into country I had Dwight Yoakam, Suzy Boggus, sara evans, strait, brookes and dunn. Now the country music is like cross over shit. I guess bottom line., country today has no twang anymore. the country twang is dead!

  74. T.... O....

    Love the organ sound in this. By the way, this is rock and rock, not country.

  75. j.... b....

    thats alright you cant playit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!234t5

  76. K.... ....

    @darvon63 they all learned somewhere :D

  77. B.... J....

    Dwight learned from Buck Owens (Bakersfield action) Google it, baby.

    B.... J....

    I did Google it and nothing happened
