Streets of Bakersfield
Homer Joy
F G7 C F
CI came here in looking for Fsomething
IG7 couldn't find anywhere Celse
CHey, I'm not trying to be noFbody,
G7Just want a chance to be myCself
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
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
How many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
