Streets Of Bakersfield Lyrics
I came here looking
for something I couldn't find anywhere else
Well I don't wanna be nobody
just want a chance to be myself
I've done a thousand miles of thumbin'
yes I've worn blisters on my heels
Tryin' to find me something better on the streets of Bakersfield
You don't know me
but you don't like me
you say you careless how I feel
How many of you that sit and judge me
ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
[ 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 don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as he was sleeping
and I headed out for Bakersfield
You don't know me...
How many of you that sit and judge me
ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
for something I couldn't find anywhere else
just want a chance to be myself
yes I've worn blisters on my heels
but you don't like me
you say you careless how I feel
ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
spent a night there in the can
I took fifteen dollars from that man
I don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
and I headed out for Bakersfield
ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
