I came here looking for something
I couldnt find anywhere else
Hey, Im not tryin to be nobody
I just want a chance to be myself
Ive spent a thousand miles of thumbin
Yes, Ive worn blisters on my heels
Tryin to find me something better
Here on the streets of Bakersfield
Hey, you dont know me but you dont like me
Say you careless how I feel
Cause how many of you 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
Dont want folks thinkin that Id steal
Then I thanked him as he was leaving
And I headed out for Bakersfield
Hey, you dont know me but you dont like me
Say you careless how I feel
Cause how many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
Hey, you dont know me but you dont like me
Say you careless how I feel
Cause how many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
How many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
