I came here looking for something |
|
I couldn't find anywhere else |
|
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody |
|
I just want a chance to be myself |
|
I've spent a thousand miles a-thumbin' |
|
Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels |
|
Trying 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 of you that sit and judge me |
|
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield? |
|
Spent sometime 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 leaving |
|
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 of you 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 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? |
