Promised Land - Luca Olivieri[00:00:00]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia[00:00:10]
California on my mind[00:00:12]
I straddled that Greyhound[00:00:15]
And rode into Raleigh[00:00:16]
And on across Caroline[00:00:17]
We had motor trouble[00:00:19]
That turn into a struggle[00:00:20]
Halfway across Alabam'[00:00:22]
And that hound broke down[00:00:24]
And left us all stranded[00:00:25]
In downtown Birmingham[00:00:26]
Right away I brought me[00:00:29]
A through train ticket[00:00:30]
Ridin' across Mississippi clean[00:00:31]
And I was on that midnight flyer[00:00:34]
Out of Birmingham[00:00:35]
Smoking into New Orleans[00:00:37]
Somebody help me[00:00:39]
Get out of Louisiana[00:00:40]
Just to help me get to Houston Town[00:00:41]
There are people there[00:00:44]
Who care a little about me[00:00:44]
And they won't[00:00:46]
Let the poor boy down[00:00:47]
Sure as you're born[00:01:02]
Brought me a silk suit[00:01:03]
Put luggage in my hand[00:01:04]
And I woke up high over Alberquerque[00:01:07]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:09]
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte[00:01:12]
Flying over to the golden state[00:01:14]
Ah when the pilot[00:01:16]
Told us in thirteen minutes[00:01:17]
He would set us at the terminal gate[00:01:19]
Swing low chariot come down easy[00:01:21]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:01:24]
Cut your engines[00:01:26]
And cool your wings[00:01:27]
And let me make[00:01:28]
It to the telephone[00:01:29]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:01:31]
Tidewater four ten o nine[00:01:33]
Tell the folks back home[00:01:35]
This is the promised land calling[00:01:37]
And the poor boy is on the line[00:01:38]
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte[00:01:54]
Flying over to the golden state[00:01:56]
Ah when the pilot[00:01:58]
Told us in thirteen minutes[00:01:59]
He would set us at the terminal gate[00:02:01]
Swing low chariot come down easy[00:02:03]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:05]
Cut your engines[00:02:08]
And cool your wings[00:02:09]
And let me make[00:02:10]
It to the telephone[00:02:11]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:02:13]
Tidewater four ten o nine[00:02:15]
Tell the folks back home[00:02:17]
This is the promised land calling[00:02:18]
And the poor boy is on the line[00:02:20]
