[E] [A] I'm a first-generation [E] genuine California O.K.
[B] Born in Barstow, raised in [E] Bakersfield.
[A] My ma and pa were orphans [E] of the Oklahoma Dust Bowl.
[B] I was born in the back of a rusty [E] Oldsmobile.
My daddy followed his dream [B] west,
and when we laid his soul to [A] rest,
I knew he'd finally found that [E] promised land.
And now I am a working [B] man,
and with the help of the good Lord's hand,
[A] my kids will [B] have what daddy [E] never had.
