Promised Land - Grateful Dead[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 and bypassed rock hill [00:00:18]
And we never was a minute late [00:00:22]
We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown [00:00:24]
Rollin cross the georgia state [00:00:28]
We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle [00:00:31]
Half way cross alabam [00:00:33]
And that hound broke down and left us all stranded[00:00:37]
In downtown birmingham [00:00:40]
Straight off I bought me a through train ticket [00:01:20]
Ridin cross mississippi clean[00:01:22]
And I was on that midnight flyer out of birmingham[00:01:26]
Smoking into new orleans [00:01:29]
Somebody help me get out of louisiana[00:01:32]
Just help me get to houston town [00:01:35]
There's people there who care a little 'bout me[00:01:38]
And they won't let the poor boy down [00:01:41]
Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit [00:01:45]
Put luggage in my hands [00:01:48]
And I woke up high over albuquerque[00:01:50]
On a jet to the promised land [00:01:53]
Workin' on a t-bone steak a la carte[00:02:33]
Flying over to the golden state;[00:02:36]
The pilot told me in thirteen minutes[00:02:39]
Wed be headin in the terminal gate [00:02:42]
Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:46]
Taxi to the terminal zone;[00:02:49]
Cut your engines cool your wings [00:02:52]
And let me make it to the telephone [00:02:54]
Los angeles give me norfolk virginia [00:02:58]
Tidewater four ten o nine[00:03:00]
Tell the folks back home[00:03:04]
This is the promised land callin'[00:03:05]
And the poor boys on the line[00:03:07]
