Promised Land - Chuck Berry (查克·贝里)[00:00:00]

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia [00:00:06]

California on my mind [00:00:09]

Straddled that Greyhound [00:00:12]

Rode him past Raleigh [00:00:14]

On across Caroline [00:00:15]

Stopped in Charlotte[00:00:18]

And bypassed Rock Hill [00:00:20]

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 [00:00:27]

We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle [00:00:30]

Half way 'cross Alabam [00:00:33]

And that 'hound broke down[00:00:36]

And left us all stranded[00:00:38]

In downtown Birmingham [00:00:39]

Run away I bought me a through train ticket [00:01:06]

Ridin' cross Mississippi clean[00:01:09]

And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:01:12]

Smoking into New Orleans [00:01:16]

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:18]

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 [00:01:31]

They bought me a silk suit [00:01:32]

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

And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:36]

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