I CAME HERE
LOOKIN' FOR SOMETHIN'
I COULDN'T FIND
ANYWHERE ELSE
HEY I'M NOT TRYIN'
TO BE NOBODY
I JUST WANT A CHANCE
TO BE MYSELF
I SPENT A THOUSAND
MILES A-THUMBIN'
YES I'VE WORN BLISTERS
ON MY HEEL
TRYIN' TO FIND ME
SOMETHIN' 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
WHO SIT AND JUDGE ME
CAN WALK
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 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
SAY YOU CARE LESS
HOW I FEEL
BUT HOW MANY OF YOU
WHO SIT AND JUDGE ME
CAN WALK
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
WHO SIT AND JUDGE ME
CAN WALK
THE STREETS OF
BAKERSFIELD
HOW MANY OF YOU
WHO SIT AND JUDGE ME
CAN WALK
THE STREETS OF
BAKERSFIELD
