Generate meaning
1
I came here in looking for somethin'
2
I couldn't find anywhere else
3
Well, I don't want to be nobody,
4
Just want a chance to be myself.
5
I've done a thousand miles of thumbin',
6
Yes, I've worn blisters on my heels
7
Trying to find me something better
8
On the streets of Bakersfield.
9
[Chorus]
10
You don't know me but you don't like me,
11
You say you care less how I feel
12
How many of you that sit and judge me
13
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?
14
Spent some time in San Francisco,
15
Spent a night there in the can
16
They threw this drunk man in my jail cell,
17
I took fifteen dollars from that man.
18
I left him my watch and my old house keys,
19
I don't like folks thinking that I'd steal
20
Then I thanked him as he was sleeping,
21
And I headed out for Bakersfield.
22
[Chorus]
23
You don't know me but you don't like me,
24
You say you care less how I feel
25
How many of you that sit and judge me
26
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield
27
How many of you that sit and judge me
28
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield...
