[Verse 1]
G D C G
I was the youngest boy in a family of four
C G D
We lived in Oklahoma, the wind whistled through our door
G D C G
We scratched out a living in the dirt and the clay
C G D G
I never will forget it until my dying day

[Verse 2]
G D C G
The dust storms they came at us, the sky turned cold and black
C G D
We packed up our belongings and never looked back
G D C G
We rode out west toward the sun just a heartbeat away
C G D G
I never will forget it until my dying day

[Chorus 1]
C G C D Em
We were Bakersfield bound and the California dream
C G D
Down the road lay the promised land, our fields would all turn green
D G C D Em
We were Bakersfield bound like so many gone before
C G D G
Just to cross our river Jordan and reach the other shore
