(homer joy)
I came here looking for something
I couldnt find anywhere else
Hey, Im not trying to be nobody
Just want a chance to be myself
Ive done a thousand miles of thumbin
Ive worn blisters on my heels
Trying to find me something better
On the streets of bakersfield
Chorus:
You dont know me but you dont like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield?
Spent some time in san francisco
Spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell
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 I was leaving, and
I headed for the streets of bakersfield
Chorus:
You dont know me but you dont like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield?
You dont know me but you dont like me
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield?
How many of you that sit and judge me
Have ever walked the streets of bakersfield?
