《Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:01] Promised Land - Elvis Presley

[00:00:10] 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 on into Raleigh

[00:00:18] And on across Caroline

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

[00:00:23] Halfway across Alabam

[00:00:26] Well 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

[00:00:34] Ridin' across Mississippi clean

[00:00:36] And 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 to help me get to Houston Town

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

[00:00:50] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:07] Sure as your born they bought me a silk suit

[00:01:10] 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] Working on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:01:20] Flying over to the golden state

[00:01:22] Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:01:25] He would set us at the terminal gate

[00:01:28] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:01:30] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:01:33] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:01:36] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:01:39] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:01:41] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:01:44] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

[00:01:47] And the poor boy is on the line

[00:02:01] Right away I brought me a through train ticket

[00:02:04] Ridin' across Mississippi clean

[00:02:06] And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:02:09] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:02:12] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:02:14] Just to help me get to Houston Town

[00:02:17] There are people there who care a little about me

[00:02:19] And they won't let the poor boy down
