Streets Of Bakersfield By Buck Owens Sung by Steve at Java Joe's 18.10.97

I came here looking for something Couldn't find it anywhere else Hey I'm not trying to be nobody Just want a chance to be myself

I spent a 1000 miles thumbing Yes I've worn blisters on my heels Just trying to find me something better Here on the streets of Bakersfield

Hey you don't know me but you don't like me Say you care less how I feel How many of you would sit here & judge me Than walk the streets of Bakersfield

Spent some time in San Fransisco I spent a night there in the can They threw this drunk man in my jail cell Took 15 dollars from that man

Left him my watch & my old house key Don't want folks thinking that I'd steal Then I thanked him as I was leaving & headed out to Bakersfield

Hey you don't know me but you don't like me Say you care less how I feel How many of you would sit here & judge me Than walk the streets of Bakersfield

How many of you would sit here & judge me Than walk the streets of Bakersfield
