Promised Land - Take 4
Quelle: Spotify
[Verse 1]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia
California on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound
And rode into Raleigh
And on across Caroline
[Verse 2]
We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle
Halfway across Alabam
And that hound broke down and left us all stranded
In downtown Birmingham
[Verse 3]
Right away I brought me a through train ticket
Riding across Mississippi clean
And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham
Smoking into New Orleans
[Verse 4]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana
Just to help me get to Houston Town
There are people there who care a little about me
And they won't let the poor boy down
[Verse 5]
Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit
Put luggage in my hand
And I woke up high over Alberquerque
On a jet to the promised land
[Verse 6]
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state
Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate
[Pre-Chorus]
Swing low chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone
[Chorus]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia
Tidewater four ten o nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling
And the poor boy is on the line
[Verse 7]
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state
Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
