Promised Land - Chuck Berry[00:00:00]

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[00:00:20]

Rollin' 'cross the georgia state[00:00:23]

We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:26]

Half way 'cross alabam[00:00:29]

And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded[00:00:32]

In downtown birmingham[00:00:34]

Straight off i bought me a through train ticket[00:00:49]

Ridin' cross mississippi clean[00:00:51]

And i was on that midnight flyer out of birmingham[00:00:54]

Smoking into new orleans[00:00:57]

Somebody help me get out of louisiana[00:01:00]

Just help me get to houston town[00:01:03]

There's people there who care a little 'bout me[00:01:06]

And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:09]

Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit[00:01:12]

Put luggage in my hands[00:01:15]

And i woke up high over albuquerque[00:01:17]

On a jet to the promised land[00:01:20]

Workin' on a t-bone steak a la carte[00:01:35]

Flying over to the golden state[00:01:38]

The pilot told me in thirteen minutes[00:01:41]

We'd be headin' in the terminal gate[00:01:44]

Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:01:47]

Taxi to the terminal zone[00:01:50]

Cut your engines cool your wings[00:01:53]

And let me make it to the telephone[00:01:55]

Los angeles give me norfolk virginia[00:01:59]

Tidewater four ten o nine[00:02:01]

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'[00:02:04]

And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:07]
