I came here
Lookin' for something
I couldn't find
Anywhere else
Hey I'm not tryin'
To be nobody
I just want a chance
To be myself
I've spent
A thousand miles ofthumbin'
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
You say you care less
How I feel
But how many ofyou
That sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets
Of Bakersfield
Spent some time
In San Francisco
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 leavin'
And I headed out
For Bakersfield
Hey you don't know me
But you don't like me
You say you care less
How I feel
But how many ofyou
That sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets
Of Bakersfield
Hey you don't know me
But you don't like me
You say you care less
How I feel
But how many ofyou
That sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets
Of Bakersfield
And how many ofyou
That sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets
Of Bakersfield
