Promised Land (Live at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO 7/8/78) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]
Written by:Berry[00:00:02]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind[00:00:11]
Straddled that greyhound it rode me past Raleigh[00:00:17]
And on across Caroline[00:00:19]
Stopped in Charlotte bypassed rock hill[00:00:22]
We never was a minute late[00:00:25]
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown[00:00:28]
Rolling cross the Georgia state[00:00:31]
We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:33]
Half way across alabam[00:00:36]
The ahound broke down left us all stranded[00:00:39]
In downtown Birmingham[00:00:42]
Straight off bought me a through train ticket[00:01:18]
Right across Mississippi clean[00:01:21]
And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:01:24]
Smoking into new Orleans[00:01:27]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:29]
Just help me get to Houston town[00:01:32]
People there who care a little about me[00:01:35]
They won't let the poor boy down[00:01:38]
Sure as she bore me she bought me a silk suit[00:01:41]
Put luggage in my hands[00:01:44]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:46]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:49]
Working on a tbone steak a la carte[00:02:25]
Flying over to the golden state[00:02:28]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:31]
We'd be heading in the terminal gate[00:02:34]
Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:37]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:39]
Cut your engines cool your wings[00:02:42]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:45]
Los angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tide water four ten on nine[00:02:48]
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling[00:02:53]
And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:56]
