《The Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:00] The Promised Land - Hit Crew Masters

[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

[00:00:19] And on across Caroline

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

[00:00:24] Halfway across Alabama

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

[00:00:29] In downtown Birmingham

[00:00:32] Right away I brought me a through train ticket

[00:00:34] Riding across Mississippi clean

[00:00:37] 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 lot about me

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

[00:00:51] Pick a song

[00:01:05] Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit

[00:01:07] Put luggage in my hand

[00:01:10] And I woke up high over Alburquerque

[00:01:12] On a jet to the promised land

[00:01:15] Working on a tbone steak ala carte

[00:01:17] Flying over to the golden state

[00:01:20] When the pilot told us in 13 minutes

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

[00:01:25] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:01:28] Taxi to the terminal zone

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

[00:01:33] Let me make it to the telephone

[00:01:35] Los Angeles

[00:01:37] Give me Norfolk Virginia tidewater 4 10 or 9

[00:01:40] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

[00:01:43] And the poor boy is on the line

[00:01:59] Sure as you're born he bought me a silk suit

[00:02:01] Put a luggage in my hand

[00:02:04] And I woke up high over Albuquerque

[00:02:06] On a jet to the promised land

[00:02:09] Working on a tbone steak a la carte

[00:02:11] Flying over to the Golden State

[00:02:14] When the pilot told us in 13 minutes

[00:02:16] He would set us at the terminal gate

[00:02:20] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:02:22] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:02:25] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:02:27] Let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:31] Los Angeles

[00:02:32] Give me Norfolk Virginia tidewater 4 10 or 9

[00:02:36] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

[00:02:39] The poor boy is on the line
