Streets of Bakersfield

I came here looking for something
 I couldn't find anywhere else
 Hey, I'm not tryin' to be nobody
 I just want a chance to be myself
 I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin'
 Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels
 Tryin' to find me something better
 Here on the streets of Bakersfield
 Hey, you don't know me but you don't 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
 Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
 Then I thanked him as he was leaving
 And I headed out for Bakersfield
 Hey, you don't know me but you don't 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 don't know me but you don't 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
