Whats the name of a Cajun sounding country song with an accordion in it?
The song has a fast-sounding accoridion, played in a cajun style tune. The man singing says something similar to “You must not know me if you don’t like me” or “you dont like me because you dont know me”. The way this guy sings it is unique and sorta funny. I’m pretty sure its a decently farmiliar song, because I’ve heard it on the radio sporadically
Streets of Bakersfield – Dwight Yoakum & Buck Owens, accordion player Flaco Jimenez.
That’s a Dwight Yoakam song…with Buck Owens
Streets of Bakersfield
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
Chorus:
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
Chorus:
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?
