《Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:00] Promised Land - The Nashville Playboys

[00:00:12] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia

[00:00:15] California on my mind

[00:00:18] I straddled that Greyhound

[00:00:19] And rode into Raleigh and on across Caroline

[00:00:24] Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill

[00:00:27] And we never was a minute late

[00:00:30] We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown

[00:00:33] Rollin cross the georgia state

[00:00:36] He had motor trouble it turned into a struggle

[00:00:39] Half way cross alabam

[00:00:42] And that hound broke down left us all stranded

[00:00:45] In downtown birmingham

[00:00:49] Right away I brought me a through train ticket

[00:00:51] Ridin' across Mississippi clean

[00:00:54] I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:00:57] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:01:01] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:01:03] Just help me get to Houston Town

[00:01:06] There are people there

[00:01:08] Who care a little about me

[00:01:10] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:12] This is sure as you're born brought me a silk suit

[00:01:16] Put luggage in my hand

[00:01:18] And I woke up high over Albuquerque

[00:01:21] On a jet to the promised land

[00:01:51] Working on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:01:54] Flying over to the golden state

[00:01:57] When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:01:59] He would set us at the terminal gate

[00:02:03] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:02:06] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:02:09] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:02:11] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:15] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:02:18] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:02:21] Tell the folks back home

[00:02:22] This is the promised land calling

[00:02:24] And the poor boy is on the line

[00:02:53] Working on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:02:56] Flying over to the golden state

[00:02:59] When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:03:02] He would set us at the terminal gate

[00:03:05] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:03:08] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:03:12] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:03:14] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:03:17] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:03:20] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:03:23] Tell the folks back home

[00:03:25] This is the promised land calling

[00:03:26] And the poor boy is on the line

[00:03:31] Tell the folks back home

[00:03:32] This is the promised land calling

[00:03:34] And the poor boy is on the line
