Streets of Bakersfield - Live at Gruene Hall

Well, I came here looking for something

I couldn't find anywhere else

Well, I'm not trying to be nobody

I just want a chance to be myself

Well, I've spent a thousand miles a-thumbin'

Well, I've worn blisters on my heels

I'm trying to find me something better

At 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

How many of you that sit and judge me

If ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Well, I've 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 headed out for Bakersfield

Well, you don't know me, but you don't like me

You say you care less how I feel

How many of you that sit and judge me

If ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Hey, no, you don't know me, but you don't like me

You say you care less how I feel

How many of you that sit and judge me

If ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Well, how many of you that sit and judge me

If ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
