Promised Land (Live at Charlotte Coliseum, Charlotte, VA, December 10, 1973) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)[00:00:00]
I left my home in Norfolk[00:00:15]
Virginia California on my mind[00:00:16]
Straddled that greyhound[00:00:20]
It rode me past Raleigh[00:00:22]
And on across Caroline[00:00:23]
Stopped in Charlotte[00:00:26]
And bypassed rock hill[00:00:27]
We were on the midnight[00:00:29]
Flyer out of Birmingham[00:00:32]
Had motor trouble[00:00:33]
It turned into a struggle[00:00:34]
Half way across Alabama[00:00:40]
The hound broke down[00:00:44]
Left us all stranded[00:00:46]
In downtown Birmingham[00:01:14]
Straight off bought me a[00:01:15]
Through train ticket[00:01:17]
Right across Mississippi clean[00:01:19]
And I was on the midnight[00:01:20]
Flyer out of Birmingham[00:01:22]
Smoking into New Orleans[00:01:23]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:26]
Just help me get to Houston town[00:01:29]
People are there who care a little about me[00:01:32]
And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:35]
Sure as she bore me[00:01:38]
She bought me a silk suit[00:01:40]
Put luggage in my hands[00:01:41]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:44]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:47]
Working on a t-bone steak a la carte[00:02:14]
Flying over to the golden state[00:02:16]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:19]
We'd be heading in the terminal gate[00:02:22]
Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:25]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:28]
Cut your engines cool your wings[00:02:31]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:34]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:02:37]
Tidewater four ten on nine[00:02:40]
Tell the folks back home[00:02:43]
This is the promised land calling[00:02:44]
Poor boy's on the line[00:02:45]
