Streets of Bakersfield (with Buck Owens) (2002 Remaster) - Dwight Yoakam/Buck Owens

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'

I've worn holes in both my heels

Trying to find me something better

On the streets of Bakersfield

You don't know me but you don't like me

You say you care less how I feel

But how many of you that sit and judge me

Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield

Spent sometime in San Francisco

Spent a night there in the can

They threw this drunk man in my jail cell

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

I headed for the streets of Bakersfield

You don't know me but you don't like me

You say you care less how I feel

But how many of you that sit and judge me

Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield

You don't know me but you don't like me

You say you care less how I feel

But how many of you that sit and judge me

Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield

How many of you that sit and judge me

Have ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
