Streets of Bakersfield

I came here looking for something

I couldn't' find anywhere else

Hey, I'm not tryin' to be nobody

I just wanna chance to be myself

I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin'

Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels

Tryin' to find me something better

Here on the streets of Bakersfield

Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me

Say you care less how I feel

But how many of you have sit and judged me

Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Spent some time in San Fransisco

I spent a night there in the can

They threw this drunk man in my jail cell

I took fifteen dollars from that man

Left him my watch and my old house key

Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal

Then I thanked him as I was leaving

And I headed out for Bakersfield

Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me

Say you care less how I feel

But how many of you have sit and judged me

Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Hey, you don't know me but you don't like me

Say you care less how I feel

But how many of you have sit and judged me

Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

How many of you have sit and judged me

Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
