Good morning Bakersfield's Next Buck Contestants!

If you'd like to get a head start on the rest of the contestants, learn the song and meet in front of Starbucks on Merle Haggard Drive this morning at about 8:30 am.

If you are Bakersfield's Next Buck then you probably don't need me to send the chords or give you a practice track.  However, these are available upon request.  In the meantime, these are the lyrics, and, attached, is the song.  Any questions?  Good.  

Ready, set....BLOG N ROLL! 

If you Wanna Be the Next Buck Owens

words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2008

if you want to be the next Buck Owens

if you wanna grab the tiger by the tail

just give 'em all you've got

dare to be different

sing out from your heart

let your guitar wail

Chorus:

be yourself

be yourself

don't try to be anybody else

if you wanna be the next Buck Owens

just break their hearts

and make their spirits melt

if you wanna be the next Merle Haggard

you don't have to sing

The Fightin' Side of Me

just give 'em all you've got

dare to be different

just let it out

and set their spirits free

(chorus)
