《The Promised Land(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] The Promised Land - Meat Loaf

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

[00:00:13] California on my mind

[00:00:16] I straddled that greyhound

[00:00:18] And rode him into Raleigh

[00:00:19] And on across Caroline

[00:00:22] I had motor trouble that turned into a struggle

[00:00:24] Halfway across Alabama

[00:00:27] And that 'Hound broke down and left me

[00:00:29] All stranded in Downtown Birmingham

[00:00:33] Right away I bought me a through train ticket

[00:00:35] Ridin' across Mississippi clean

[00:00:38] And I was on the Midnight Flyer out of Birmingham

[00:00:41] Smokin' into New Orleans

[00:00:44] Somebody helped me get out of Louisiana

[00:00:46] Just to help me get to Houston Town

[00:00:49] There are people there who care a little 'bout me

[00:00:52] And they won't let a poor boy down

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

[00:01:09] They 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] Workin' on a T-bone steak

[00:01:19] I had a party flyin' over to the Golden State

[00:01:23] When the pilot told me in thirteen minutes

[00:01:26] He would get us at the Terminal zone

[00:01:29] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:01:31] Taxi to the Terminal zone

[00:01:34] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:01:37] And let me make it to the telephone

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

[00:01:42] Virginia Tidewater 41009

[00:01:45] And tell the folks back home

[00:01:46] This is the Promised Land calling

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

[00:01:52] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:01:55] Taxi to the Terminal zone

[00:01:57] Cut your engines and cool your wings

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

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

[00:02:05] Virginia Tidewater 41009

[00:02:08] And tell the folks back home

[00:02:09] This is the Promised Land calling

[00:02:10] And the poor boy's on the line

[00:02:13] And tell the folks back home

[00:02:15] This is the Promised Land calling

[00:02:16] And their big boy's on the line
