iG came here looking forC something D
DI couldn'tDsus4 find anywhere elsGe
HGey, I'm not trying to be Cnobody, D
DJust want a Dsus4chance to be myselfG
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:
GYou don't know me but you don'tC like me, D
DYou say you Dsus4care less how I Gfeel
GHow many of you that sit and jCudge me D
DEver walked theDsus4 streets of BakersfGield C G
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,
Don't like folks thinking that I'd steal
Then I thanked him as he was sleeping,
And I headed out for Bakersfield
Chorus
