It’s a small town. Woodlake, California. East side of the San Joaquin Valley. 14 miles from where all those “Lindsey” olives you see on your grocery store shelves come from. The Woodlake Echo, says, “In the foothills of the Sequoias”.
FOOTHILLS capo @ 5 in C
There’s a bend in the road at the bridge at Lemon Cove
Where Kaweah flows cold into Lake Bravo
It’s a joy to my nose when the orange blossom glows
In the foothills of my soul
In the crisp Woodlake air I will bridal my mare
Take the back roads and share in the fresh morning air
I will ride, I will run til the glow of the dawn
In the foothills of my soul
E. Am
Feel the breeze in my hair
F. Fm. G
May it always be there
C
The Sequoias above
F. C
And the olives below
Am F G C
In the foothills of my soul
It’s all part of my past and I hope it will last
Til my last breath is lost in the shadows
I will drive my old car top down beneath the stars
In the foothills of my soul
Feel the breeze in my hair. May it always be there
The Sequoias above and the olives below
In the foothills of my soul
The redwoods above and the oranges below
In the foothills of my soul

Scott - Thanks for the link. I love how descripted they were i never have smelled the orange blossoms but i bet they are heavenly. Me -The first time it hit me, I was taking Kay Smart for a ride, top down just west of that bridge at Lemon cove. Nothing else like it. Scott - Enter Scott Scott Carson Ausburn I bet ; ) Nothing like smell to jog your memories. I usta be in love with this girl named Belinda that lived up the street from my Grandmothers. We would go bicycle riding often. Her front yard had plum trees that smelled heavenly when the were in bloom. Now every time i smell a plum tree bloom it takes me back to the good times i had with Belinda and wondering what ever happened to her. Me -So sweet. Peggy wore Sweet Honesty perfume. I’m sure if I met some girl with that I would be shaken.
