Promised Land (Live At Cow Palace, Daly City, CA, March 23, 1974) - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)[00:00:00]
Written by:Chuck Berry[00:00:01]
Left my home in Norfolk[00:00:04]
Virginia California on my mind[00:00:06]
Straddled that Greyhound[00:00:10]
It rode me past Raleigh and on across Caroline[00:00:11]
Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill[00:00:15]
And we never was a minute late[00:00:18]
And we was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown[00:00:21]
Rolling across the Georgia state[00:00:25]
Where the motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:27]
Half way across Alabama[00:00:30]
Bound broke down[00:00:33]
And left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham[00:00:35]
Was straight off bought me a through train your ticket[00:01:04]
Right across Mississippi clean[00:01:06]
And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:01:09]
Smoking into New Orleans[00:01:13]
Oh somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:16]
Just help me get to Houston town[00:01:19]
Was people there who care a little about me[00:01:22]
And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:25]
Was sure as bore me bought me a silk suit[00:01:28]
Put luggage in my hands[00:01:31]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:34]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:37]
Working on a T-bone steak a la carte[00:02:16]
Flying over to the Golden State[00:02:19]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:22]
We'd be heading in the terminal gate[00:02:25]
Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:28]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:31]
Oh cut your engines cool your wings[00:02:34]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:37]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:02:40]
Tidewater four ten oh nine[00:02:43]
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling[00:02:46]
And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:49]
