| G | C | G C | G*
Verse 1
I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not trying to 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
Trying to find me something better
On the streets of Bakersfield
Chorus
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
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
Solo
Verse 2
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 keys,
I don't like folks thinkin' that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as he was sleepin',
And I headed out for Bakersfield
Chorus
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
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
Outro
How many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
