《Promissed Land》歌词

[00:00:00] Promissed Land - The Hit Band

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

[00:00:13] California on my mind

[00:00:16] I straddled that Greyhound

[00:00:17] And rode into Raleigh and on across Caroline

[00:00:21] We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle

[00:00:23] Halfway across Alabama

[00:00:26] And that hound broke down and left us all stranded

[00:00:28] In downtown Birmingham

[00:00:31] Right away I brought me a through train ticket

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

[00:00:36] I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:00:39] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:00:42] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:00:44] Just help me get to Houston Town

[00:00:47] There are people there who care a little about me

[00:00:49] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:07] Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit

[00:01:09] Put luggage in my hand

[00:01:11] And I woke up high over Albuquerque

[00:01:13] On a jet to the promised land

[00:01:16] Working on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:01:19] Flying over to the golden state

[00:01:21] When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:01:23] He would set us at the terminal gate

[00:01:27] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:01:29] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:01:31] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:01:34] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:01:37] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:01:39] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:01:42] Tell the folks back home

[00:01:43] This is the promised land calling

[00:01:44] And the poor boy is on the line
