Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens - Streets of Bakersfield

I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not tryin' to be nobody
I just wanna chance to be myself

I've spent a thousand miles of thumbin'
Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels
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
But how many of you that sit and judged me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Spent some time in San Francisco
I spent a night there in the can
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell
I 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 out for Bakersfield

Hey, you don't know me, but you don't like me
Say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judged me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Hey, you don't know me, but you don't like me
Say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judged me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

How many of you that sit and judged me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
