Promised Land (Live Boston Music Hall Boston 6/9/1976) - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind[00:00:03]
Straddled that Greyhound it rode me past Raleigh[00:00:09]
And on across Caroline[00:00:12]
Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill[00:00:15]
We never was a minute late[00:00:18]
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown[00:00:21]
Rolling cross the Georgia state[00:00:24]
We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:27]
Half way across Alabam[00:00:30]
The ahound broke down left us all stranded[00:00:33]
In downtown Birmingham[00:00:36]
Well we straight off bought me a through train ticket[00:01:03]
Right across Mississippi clean[00:01:06]
And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:01:08]
Smoking into New Orleans[00:01:12]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:15]
Just help me get to Houston town[00:01:18]
People are there who care a little about me[00:01:21]
And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:24]
Sure as she bore me she bought me a silk suit[00:01:27]
Put luggage in my hands[00:01:30]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:33]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:36]
Working on a Tbone steak a la carte[00:02:02]
Flying over to the Golden State[00:02:05]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:08]
We'd be heading in the terminal gate[00:02:11]
Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:14]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:17]
Cut your engines cool your wings[00:02:20]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:23]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tide water four ten on nine[00:02:26]
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling[00:02:32]
And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:35]
