Chris Hillman Bakersfield Bound written by Chris Hillman Herb Pedersen Steve Hill
AEDA I was the youngest boy in a family of four DAE We lived in Oklahoma the wind whistled thru our door AEDA We scratched out a living in the dirt and and the clay DAEA I never will forget it untill my dying days AEDA The dust storms they came at us the sky turned cold and black DAE We packed up our belonging and never looked back AEDA We rode out west toward the sun just a heartbeat away DAEA I never will forget it untill my dying days ADEF#m We were Bakersfield Bound and the California dream DAE Down the road lay the promised lands our fields would all turn green ADEF#m We were Bakersfield bound like so many gone before DAEA Just to cross our River Jordan and reach the other shore AE When we first set eyes on The San Joaquin DA Was like a friend we always knew DAE The gates swing open so far and wide even God could drive thru AEDA We worked the crops from dawn to dust shared along the way DAEA I never will forget it untill my dying days ADEF#m We were Bakersfield Bound and the California dream DAE Down the road lay the promised lands our fields had all turned green ADEF#m We were Bakersfield bound like so many gone before DAEA Just to cross our River Jordan and reach the other shore DAEA Crossed our River Jordan to reach the other shore
