Promised Land (Live in Englishtown, NJ, September 3, 1977) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]
Written by:Chuck Berry[00:00:02]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind[00:00:06]
Straddled that greyhound it rode me past Raleigh and on across Caroline[00:00:12]
Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill[00:00:18]
And we never was a minute late[00:00:21]
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown[00:00:24]
Rollin' 'cross the Georgia State[00:00:28]
We're had motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:31]
Half way 'cross Alabama[00:00:34]
When my 'hound broke down and left us all stranded[00:00:37]
In downtown Birmingham[00:00:40]
There was a phone above his[00:01:21]
And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:01:27]
Smoking in New Orleans that's right[00:01:30]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:33]
Just help me get Houston Town[00:01:36]
There's people are there who care a thing 'bout me[00:01:39]
And won't let the poor boy down[00:01:43]
Sure as the bone man bought me a silk suit[00:01:46]
Put luggage in my hands[00:01:49]
When I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:52]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:55]
Workin' on a T bone steak a la carte[00:02:36]
Flying over to the Golden State[00:02:38]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:41]
We'd be headin' in the terminal gate[00:02:44]
Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:47]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:51]
Cut your engines cool your wings[00:02:54]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:57]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:03:00]
Tidewater four ten on nine[00:03:03]
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'[00:03:06]
And the poor boy's on the line[00:03:09]
