《The Promised Land(2001 Digital Remaster)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Promised Land (2001 Digital Remaster) - The Band

[00:00:07] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia

[00:00:10] California on my mind

[00:00:13] I boarded that greyhound

[00:00:15] Rode in into raliegh on across caroline

[00:00:19] Stopped in charlotte to by pass rockhill

[00:00:22] We never was a minute late

[00:00:25] We were ninty miles out of atlanta by sundown

[00:00:28] Rollin' out of Georgia state

[00:00:31] We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle

[00:00:34] Halfway across alabam

[00:00:37] And that bow broke down

[00:00:38] And left us stranded in downtown Birmingham

[00:00:55] Right away I bought a through train ticket

[00:00:58] Got across Mississippi clean

[00:01:01] And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:01:04] Smokin' into New Orleans

[00:01:07] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:01:10] Help me get to houston town

[00:01:12] There are people there who care a little 'bout me

[00:01:16] And won't put the poor boy down

[00:01:19] Georgia born they bought me a silk suit

[00:01:22] And put luggage in my hand

[00:01:25] And woke up high over albuquerque

[00:01:27] On a jet to the promised land

[00:01:54] Workin' on a tbone ala cartee

[00:01:57] Flyin' over to the golden state

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

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

[00:02:06] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:02:09] Taxi to the terminal door

[00:02:12] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:02:14] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:18] Los angeles give me norfolk Virginia

[00:02:20] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:02:23] Tell all the folks back home

[00:02:25] It's the promised land callin'

[00:02:26] And the poor boy is on the line
