Promissed Land - The Hit Band[00:00:00]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia[00:00:11]
California on my mind[00:00:13]
I straddled that Greyhound[00:00:16]
And rode into Raleigh and on across Caroline[00:00:17]
We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle[00:00:21]
Halfway across Alabama[00:00:23]
And that hound broke down and left us all stranded[00:00:26]
In downtown Birmingham[00:00:28]
Right away I brought me a through train ticket[00:00:31]
Ridin' across Mississippi clean[00:00:33]
I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:00:36]
Smoking into New Orleans[00:00:39]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:00:42]
Just help me get to Houston Town[00:00:44]
There are people there who care a little about me[00:00:47]
And they won't let the poor boy down[00:00:49]
Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit[00:01:07]
Put luggage in my hand[00:01:09]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:11]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:13]
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte[00:01:16]
Flying over to the golden state[00:01:19]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:01:21]
He would set us at the terminal gate[00:01:23]
Swing low chariot come down easy[00:01:27]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:01:29]
Cut your engines and cool your wings[00:01:31]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:01:34]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:01:37]
Tidewater four ten o nine[00:01:39]
Tell the folks back home[00:01:42]
This is the promised land calling[00:01:43]
And the poor boy is on the line[00:01:44]
