Dwight Yoakam - Sin City Lyrics
This old town is filled with sin
It'll swallow you in
If you've got some money to burn
Take it home right away
You've got three years to pay
Well, the scientists say it'll all wash away
But we don't believe anymore
'Cause we've got our recruits
In their green mohair suits
So please show your I.D. at the door
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door
A fool came around tried to clean up this town
His ideas made some people mad
But he trusted in his crowd
So he spoke right out loud
And they lost the best friend they ever had
This old earthquake's gonna leave me in the poorhouse
It seems like this whole town's insane
On the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain
Yeah on the thirty-first floor your gold-plated door
Won't keep out the Lord's burning rain

Dwight Yoakam Sin City Comments
Wow two awsome musicians right there why dont dwight sing anymore?? Dam sure miss his voice ♥
Two of my favorite country singers!!
Oh my lord. K.D. sounds so beautiful singing country. To be fair, her voice is beautiful singing anything. Special and timeless...
Stellar, but ...it's Dwight!!
Dwight and K.D. my two favorite singers from the big 80's when i was a young twenty something! I wore out both their tapes. Both wildly under valued when i felt they should have been at the top of their field back then. I think time has proved my feeling right as they are now recognized as two of the best.
Wow!!! I love these two together..
Good God, what amazing singers these 2 are.
Wauw wat mooi
Beautiful love there voices wow. ❤️
Beautifully done
I would send this song to my husband when he was deployed. We sent tapes back and forth and I would often include this song and Two Doors Down
Wonderful!
Oops my bad. Still guitar at 211. Sorry.
I think that instrument is called a Mandolin .
If you're referring to @Hannah Miller's question, the mandolin (played by Ben Mink) is the instrument shown before the 2:11 mark. From 2:05 it shows Greg Leisz playing the steel guitar.
@langsense That is a mandola. Or maybe a Busuki.
I'm not a big country music fan, but I do make an exception for Dwight Yoakam. I've seen him twice, in concert. This performance was amazing. KD Lang is as talented a singer that exists.
such a beautiful feminine voice from a cowpunk like KD (I mean that respectfully). amazing. these two are terrific together.
Holy Cow ! The guy from sling blade is not bad at all. Great song !!!
Lol. The best. He is unreal live.
2:11 what is this instrument called please?
@Hannah Miller The easiest answer is to call it a steel guitar but there are variations e.g. lap steel guitar, console guitar.
@langsense interesting. Thank you!
Nashville rejecting kdlang was such bullshit. she has it all thankfully times have changed.
Nashville has not learned yet, not even after they killed Hank Williams I!!!
If you think Nashville rejected KD Lang, you're badly warped. KD stuck her homosexuality into the faces of the fans and said, take it or leave it. At that point in time, people left it. Nashville goes where the money is. They didn't reject her. The fans did. Their loss, but put the blame where it lies. And KD owns a part of the blame. If she wanted to be there, she could have softened her approach but that wasn't the way she wanted to do it. You may not be old enough to remember it.
K.D.......what a voice!
So nice to see 2 people singing who don't need any
Artificial help with teir voices
2 very unique people
Yep, and both so underrated.
Kd has such a beautiful voice
WOW! It`s so great!
ヨーカム最高!グラムパーソンズ最高!
The most gifted female vocalist of a generation...simply the best
Love her voice. Love you too Dwight. They sound so good togsther.
i just can't find the words to how this moved me. so beautiful. i love you dwight but K.D your voice is so angelic.
And Scott Joss sounds beautiful on that fiddle...... <3
Wish they would do more songs together!!!
...Yea ! The Flying Burrito Brothers !!!
I was at Altamont! :(
KD Lang, Elvis Presley and Andrea Bocelli. The only singers that give me a funny feeling in my tummy. Sigh. Dwight is fantastic...also a good actor, but that KD. It’s enough to make you weep.
I have wept while listening to her duet with Roy Orbison.
friscowolf oh yes, absolutely. 😭
Two great voices ❤️❤️
Rock and country can sometimes have the prettiest babies.
Thank you cosmic cowboy
Wow awesome!!
That was perfect!
Voices just made for each other
Watch Roy Orbitson and K. D. Lang doing Roy's song "Crying".....Blows you away too.
@motogrl1 I came here right after watching that video!
👌🏽👌🏽❤️
Two of the greatest singers ever.
Excellent duet
I’d Lang is A Canadian gal
The best singer, her voice is beautiful & powerful.
Great waltz song
Good stuff
I would love to see them do SUSPICIOUS Minds together...OMG!!
Careful what you wish for there petunia
The (2) biggest loves of my life...
I’m in love with this duet! kid Lang can blow up a speaker and then be as soft as a baby’s whisper!!!
Dwight is awesome as usual
Please come to New Jersey !
Love kd her and Dwight are awesome
Beautiful. Kd Lang has an amazi g voice...
two beautiful voices together. great
two of the greats!!!
Wow!! Love it, two great voices :)
Mesmerizing......
love it love it. love both these voices
I was listening to some Dwight Yoakam and I thought, "I wonder if he ever sang a duet with KD" and one Google search brought me here. Thank goodness!
Crept Lang is canadian
Wonderful singers , great song , beautiful moment ! 💙💜
Green mohair suit, Altamont all over again
Mr. Yokum is fabulous
I.Just.Can’t.
Dwight is a consummate gentleman . Freaking Paul McCartney is so egocentric he only let kd lang be a back up singer with him instead of doing a duet
Saw that gig with the Beatle and kd. You're so right.
Hurt so good
KD love her voice... have to see her in concert...
Gram is smiling. 2 soaring voices. Magnifique.
Just found this. wow
Two of my all time favorites Dwight and KD, ...... God bless us all!!!!
Wish they would do an album together. Beautiful!
Amazing performance by KD & Dwight,incredible Talent,,loved it
I am so blessed... What have I done to deserve to hear this beautiful transcendental duet... Dang.. I must be a good soul end of day... So devine... They are so made for each other.. I wish there would be more collaboration between Dwight and Lang..
So decent... so selfless...This is what partnership is all about...
This never gets old. Two rising talents at their prime. Incredible duet. Great song that fit that time in AB.
A couple of underrated musicians.
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant

I love Dwight but KD gave me goosebumps!
Awesome
I lived in Alberta for 51 yrs!
I've lived here for 54 years. 👍👋
i love Dwight, and singing with KD,, man that girl can sing, KD's voice is like a angel
Wow ! both just tears your heart and soul out !! Puts goose bumps on my goose bumps !!
Damn she can sang. Ol' Dwight never dissapoints
Although both are good singers, especially Kd..... But, no..... only like it by Gram Parsons.
Omg it doesn't get any better than those 2 together!
This gave me goosebumps and I'm a big burly 38 year old man. So beautiful. What a performance.
Oh my goodness- such beautiful voices - it just cant get any better
love the anti global warming lyrics
kd sure makes a s-o-n-g beyond measure.
Like the Flying Burrito Brothers version more but this ain't bad
greg leisz's pedal steel makes the tune. same with ben mink's mandolin. great effort, all around.
Chemistry like Gram Parson's had with Emmylou Harris
wish I had k.d.s voice
beautiful
He Kisses her on the cheek. Now there's a sweet guy. K.D., God love her, is a woman and I'm sure has a woman's soft heart but that's about where it ends. He'll probably remember the smell of her Old Spice.
that was a low-life comment, but then no one expects much from low-life
@Veronica Matchett Besides, she'd never use something as lousy as Old Spice!!
What a beautiful blending of voices!
Can't EVER forget your roots. Mine will always be Mozart, Brahms and Stravinsky.
I enjoyed watching kd as they sing, she was totally focused on Yoakam, so intent on harmonizing. Truly an amazing performer. Thanks
Dwight and kd hit it out of the ball park with this one!
Country needs more Dwight & kd.
stunning
we gotta love our canuck lady, she is such a great and lovely hearted singer with an excellenttt voice and yokum is a Natural for singing.loves them both!! 100-100 sweeeeet
