《Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:00] Promised Land - Top of the Poppers

[00:00:10] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia

[00:00:13] California on my mind

[00:00:15] I straddled that Greyhound

[00:00:16] And rode into Raleigh

[00:00:18] And on across Caroline

[00:00:20] We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle

[00:00:23] Halfway across Alabam'

[00:00:25] And that hound broke down and left us all stranded

[00:00:27] In downtown Birmingham

[00:00:30] Right away I brought me a through train ticket

[00:00:33] Ridin' across Mississippi clean

[00:00:35] And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:00:38] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:00:40] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:00:43] Just to help me get to Houston Town

[00:00:45] Are there people there who care a little about me

[00:00:48] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:04] Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit

[00:01:06] Put luggage in my hand

[00:01:09] And I woke up high over Alberquerque

[00:01:11] On a jet to the promised land

[00:01:14] Working on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:01:16] Flying over to the golden state

[00:01:19] Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:01:21] He would set us at the terminal gate

[00:01:24] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:01:26] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:01:29] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:01:31] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:01:34] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:01:37] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:01:39] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

[00:01:41] And the poor boy is on the line

[00:01:58] Working on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:02:00] Flying over to the golden state

[00:02:03] Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:02:05] He would set us at the terminal gate

[00:02:08] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:02:11] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:02:13] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:02:16] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:18] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:02:21] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:02:23] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

[00:02:26] And the poor boy is on the line
