Promised Land (Live at Convention Hall, San Diego, CA, August 7, 1971) - Grateful Dead[00:00:01]

Written by：Lindsey/Verges/James[00:00:02]

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia[00:00:04]

California on my mind[00:00:06]

Straddled that Greyhound rode him past Raleigh[00:00:09]

On across Caroline[00:00:12]

Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill[00:00:15]

And we never was a minute late[00:00:18]

We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown[00:00:21]

Rollin' 'cross the Georgia state[00:00:25]

We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:28]

Half way 'cross Alabam[00:00:30]

And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded[00:00:34]

In downtown Birmingham[00:00:36]

Straight off I bought me a through train ticket[00:01:07]

Ridin' cross Mississippi clean[00:01:10]

And I was on that midnight flier out of Birmingham[00:01:13]

Smoking into New Orleans[00:01:16]

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:19]

Just help me get to Houston town[00:01:22]

There's people there who care a little 'bout me[00:01:25]

And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:28]

Sure as you're born[00:01:32]

They bought me a silk suit[00:01:33]

Put luggage in my hands[00:01:34]

And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:37]

On a jet to the promised land[00:01:40]

Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte[00:02:11]

Flying over to the Golden State[00:02:13]

The pilot told me in thirteen minutes[00:02:16]

We'd be headin' in the terminal gate[00:02:19]

Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:23]

Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:26]

Cut your engines cool your wings[00:02:29]

And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:31]

Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:02:35]

Tidewater four ten O nine[00:02:37]

Tell the folks back home[00:02:41]

This is the promised land callin'[00:02:42]

And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:43]
