Streets Of Bakersfield
I came here looking for something
I couldnt find anywhere else
Well I dont wanna be nobody just want a chance to be myself
Ive done a thousand miles of thumbin yes
Ive worn blisters on my heels
Tryin to find me something better on the streets of
Bakersfield
You dont know me but you dont like me you say you careless how
I feel How many of you that sit and judge me ever walked the streets of
Bakerfield [ guitar ]
Spent some time in
San Francisco spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell
I took fifteen dollars from that man
I left him my watch and my old house key
I dont want folks thinkin that
Id steal
Then I thanked him as he was sleeping and
I headed out for
Bakersfield
You dont know me...
How many of you that sit and judge me ever walked the streets of
Bakerfield
