The Promised Land - Meat Loaf[00:00:01]

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 him into Raleigh[00:00:18]

And on across Caroline[00:00:19]

I had motor trouble that turned into a struggle[00:00:22]

Halfway across Alabama[00:00:24]

And that 'Hound broke down and left me[00:00:27]

All stranded in Downtown Birmingham[00:00:29]

Right away I bought me a through train ticket[00:00:33]

Ridin' across Mississippi clean[00:00:35]

And I was on the Midnight Flyer out of Birmingham[00:00:38]

Smokin' into New Orleans[00:00:41]

Somebody helped me get out of Louisiana[00:00:44]

Just to help me get to Houston Town[00:00:46]

There are people there who care a little 'bout me[00:00:49]

And they won't let a poor boy down[00:00:52]

Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit[00:01:07]

They put luggage in my hand[00:01:09]

And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:12]

On a jet to the Promised Land[00:01:15]

Workin' on a T-bone steak[00:01:18]

I had a party flyin' over to the Golden State[00:01:19]

When the pilot told me in thirteen minutes[00:01:23]

He would get us at the Terminal zone[00:01:26]

Swing low chariot come down easy[00:01:29]

Taxi to the Terminal zone[00:01:31]

Cut your engines and cool your wings[00:01:34]

And let me make it to the telephone[00:01:37]

Los Angeles give me Norfolk[00:01:39]

Virginia Tidewater 41009[00:01:42]

And tell the folks back home[00:01:45]

This is the Promised Land calling[00:01:46]

And the poor boy's on the line[00:01:47]

Swing low chariot come down easy[00:01:52]

Taxi to the Terminal zone[00:01:55]

Cut your engines and cool your wings[00:01:57]

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

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

Virginia Tidewater 41009[00:02:05]

And tell the folks back home[00:02:08]

This is the Promised Land calling[00:02:09]

And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:10]

And tell the folks back home[00:02:13]

This is the Promised Land calling[00:02:15]

And their big boy's on the line[00:02:16]
