《The Promised Land(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Promised Land - Meat Loaf

[00:00:11] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind

[00:00:16] I straddled that greyhound and rode him

[00:00:18] Into raleigh and on across Caroline

[00:00:22] I had motor trouble that turned into

[00:00:24] A struggle halfway across Alabama

[00:00:27] And that 'Hound broke down and left me

[00:00:29] All stranded in downtown Birmingham

[00:00:33] Right away I bought me a through train

[00:00:35] Ticket ridin' across mississippi clean

[00:00:38] And I was on the midnight flyer out of

[00:00:40] Birmingham smokin' into new Orleans

[00:00:44] Somebody helped me get out of Louisiana

[00:00:46] Just to help me get to houston town

[00:00:49] There are people there who care a little 'bout me

[00:00:52] And they won't let a poor boy down

[00:01:07] Sure as you're born they bought me a silk

[00:01:09] Suit they put luggage in my hand

[00:01:12] And I woke up high over albuquerque

[00:01:15] On a jet to the promised land

[00:01:18] Workin' on a tbone steak I had a party flyin'

[00:01:21] Over to the golden state

[00:01:23] When the pilot told me in thirteen minutes

[00:01:26] He would get us at the terminal zone

[00:01:29] Swing low chariot come down easy taxi to the terminal zone

[00:01:34] Cut your engines and cool your wings and let me

[00:01:37] Make it to the telephone

[00:01:40] Los angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tidewater 4 10 09

[00:01:45] And tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'

[00:01:48] And the poor boy's on the line

[00:01:52] Swing low chariot come down easy taxi to the terminal zone

[00:01:58] Cut your engines and cool your wings and let me

[00:02:01] Make it to the telephone

[00:02:03] Los angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tidewater 4 10 09

[00:02:08] And tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'

[00:02:11] And the poor boy's on the line

[00:02:14] And tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'

[00:02:16] And their big boy's on the line
