Promised Land(Take 5) - Elvis Presley[00:00:00]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia[00:00:17]
California on my mind[00:00:19]
I straddled that Greyhound[00:00:22]
And rode into Raleigh[00:00:23]
And on across Caroline[00:00:25]
We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle[00:00:28]
Halfway across Alabam'[00:00:30]
And that hound broke down[00:00:33]
And left us all stranded[00:00:34]
In downtown Birmingham[00:00:35]
Right away I brought me a through train ticket[00:00:38]
Ridin' across Mississippi clean[00:00:40]
And I was on that midnight flyer[00:00:43]
Out of Birmingham[00:00:45]
Smoking into New Orleans[00:00:46]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:00:49]
Just to help me get to Houston Town[00:00:51]
There are people there who care a little about me[00:00:54]
And they won't let the poor boy down[00:00:57]
Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit[00:01:14]
Put luggage in my hand[00:01:16]
And I woke up high over Alberquerque[00:01:19]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:21]
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte[00:01:24]
Flying over to the golden state[00:01:27]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:01:29]
He would set us at the terminal gate[00:01:32]
Swing low chariot come down easy[00:01:35]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:01:37]
Cut your engines and cool your wings[00:01:40]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:01:42]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:01:45]
Tidewater four ten o nine[00:01:48]
Tell the folks back home[00:01:50]
This is the promised land calling[00:01:51]
And the poor boy is on the line[00:01:53]
Right away I brought me a through train ticket[00:02:08]
Ridin' across Mississippi clean[00:02:10]
And I was on that midnight flyer[00:02:13]
Out of Birmingham[00:02:15]
Smoking into New Orleans[00:02:16]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:02:18]
Just to help me get to Houston Town[00:02:21]

This is the promised land calling[00:03:06]
And the poor boy is on the line[00:03:08]
