Yoakam, Dwight - Streets Of Bakersfield Lyrics






I came here looking for something
I couldn't find anywhere else
Hey, I'm not trying to be nobody
I just want a chance to be myself
I've spent a thousand miles a-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
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Spent sometime 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
You say you care less how I feel
But how many of you that sit and judge me
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

Hey, 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
Ever walked the streets of Bakersfield?

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

  43. T.... S....

    Big difference between "Country" and "Western" and "Bakersfield".... you can't lump into one genre. Ya know the difference between Country and Western? Country is English Irish Scottish. Western is Spanish and German. And Bakersfield is unique.

  44. D.... ....

    Awesome! Sounds great!

  70. J.... S....

    Darkness, no telling(who knows), has always been under the feet of God! I did not alone create the earth! I do consider myself an executioner: NOW! NOT A MURDERER! Let the world go to the dogs! You were so better off with: Charlie and Janie! This old world better keep on a spinning! Without any true, true problems...... I love money! Overtime was how I made it! I don't mind the OT NOW after a couple of years under the bridge...... Too far? Lots of physical labor just sweeping... I truly do my best when overtime is such a option....
    Never anger Renfield! I am am never going to have a war in regards to poor/ rich wine O's wanting to watch something on the television!
    Never truly tempt me! I will eventually have everything you own! Drugs are soon easy to manufacture! PRECIOUS TIME IS ALL IT TAKES!!!!$!!! Think of the pot growing in the ground; ONLY..... What a lonely, lonely all the party animals have!👺 Children are such a responsibility...........

  71. M.... A....

    ❤ from a Bakersfield girl in 2019

  72. l.... B....

    L.... C....

    RiGhT ! p:

  75. N.... R....

    Our very own Flaco Jimenez 👍👏

  76. J.... R....

    People don’t realize how close the country and norteño culture are. Banda music and country music has so much in common, and even our cultures. My family is from a small Pueblo in central Mexico in the state of Zacatecas, we have ranchers, cowboys and cowgirls, we love our cattle and horses, cowboy hats and boots, rodeos etc... I always like to find out similarities rather than differences

  77. G.... B....

    Buck and Dwight, what a duo!

  78. R.... P....

    Such a great fit with these two.

  79. S.... m....

    Makes me dance 💃🏻

  80. D.... W....

    so nice

  81. b.... h....

    Solid gold

  82. g.... ....

    lovely 💗

  83. c.... ....

    One of the first 45's I bought as a kid was Buck's version of Johnny B Goode. 1960's sometime and I've loved him since.

    These MEN SOUND AMAZING!!!!

  87. J.... G....

    Seeing those telecasters in all these Austin performances make me think of my grandad. He was a great player and wore one 56 tele smooth out. So much sound came out of his hands. Miss those days a lot.

  88. J.... G....

    Rare to see this kind of talent in one spot. What a great version of this one.

  89. P.... ....

    Man I love these guys, and I can't stand most modern country. I grew up on The Beatles and all that, but eventually came to love traditional country, and I just love all of the old guys, and some of the younger guys like Dwight, who know how to keep it raw and rockin'.

  90. D.... R....

    salute.....

  91. B.... D....

    This song reminds me of Taco Time lol

  92. K.... B....

    Soy Arizonense - casi Sonorense - and this Norteña music is OUR music, too. I love the concertina! We used to have a 2-man band visiting Nogales MX bars, peña-style, entertaining us as we demolished cahuamas of Mexican lager! THOSE were the days! Dwight does an amazing homage to Buck!

  93. J.... C....

    Love that Bakersfield sound! Thank You Flaco You were Great with your sound!!

  94. J.... S....

    Best electric guitar picker ever heard in my life!!!!! If i was married to him i make him play to me all the time!

  95. T.... G....

    Look at all the heavy hitters here, does it get any better? Dwight-Buck-Flaco!

  96. A.... L....

    Legends! Legends!

  97. A.... W....

    Awesome! Played this song many times on my Cassette Player when stationed in the Philippines!

  98. L.... E....

    Judging by the thumbs down, there are at least 190 more soulless folks out there than I imagined.


    "You don't know me, but you don't like me" one of the best lyrics in country music. Love the Bakersfield sound.

  99. d.... ....

    I Miss Buck!
