Lyrics

[Intro]
D E
A D A                        D
     I came here looking for something

[Verse 1]
E                         A
 I couldn't find any whre else
                            D
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody
E                            A
 Ijust want a chance to be myself
                               D
I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin'
E
 Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels
A                            D
 Trying to find me something better
E                             A    D
 Here on the streets of Bakersfield

[Chorus]
A
 Hey, you don't know me,
              D      E                          A
but you don't like me Say you care less how I feel
                             D
How many of you that sit and judge me
E                                 A     D A
 Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

[Interlude]

A                          D
 Spent sometime in San Francisco

[Verse 2]
E                             A
 I spent a night there in the can
                                D
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell.
E                           A
 I took fifteen dollarsfrom that man
                         D
Left him my watch and my old house key
E                              A
 Don't want folks thinkin' that I'd steal
                        D
Then I thanked him as I was leaving
E                        A  D
 And I headed out for Bakersfield
Hey, you don't know me,
        D         E
but you don't like me

[Chorus]
                      A
Say you care less how I feel
                         D        E
How many of you that sit and judge me
                             A
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
Hey, you don't know me,
        D         E
but you don't like me.
                      A
Say you care less how I feel
                         D        E
How many of you that sit and judge me
                             A
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
                         D        E
How many of you that sit and judge me

[Outro]
                             A   D
Ever walked the streets of Bakers
