Promised Land - The Red Rocker's[00:00:00]
Oh yeah on[00:00:03]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia[00:00:10]
California on my mind[00:00:12]
Straddled that greyhound[00:00:14]
Rode him past Raleigh[00:00:16]
On across Caroline[00:00:17]
We had motor trouble[00:00:19]
It turned into a struggle[00:00:21]
Half way 'cross Alabama[00:00:22]
And that 'hound broke down[00:00:24]
And left us all stranded[00:00:26]
In downtown Birmingham[00:00:27]
I bought me a through train ticket[00:00:29]
Ridin' 'cross Mississippi clean[00:00:31]
And I was on that midnight flier out of Birmingham[00:00:34]
Smoking into New Orleans[00:00:36]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:00:39]
Just help me get to Houston Town[00:00:41]
There's people there[00:00:44]
Who care a little 'bout me[00:00:45]
And they won't let the poor boy down[00:00:46]
Take[00:00:49]
Sure as you're born[00:01:02]
They bought me a silk suit[00:01:03]
Put luggage in my hands[00:01:05]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:07]
On a jet to the promised land[00:01:09]
Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte[00:01:12]
Flying over to the golden state[00:01:14]
Oh[00:01:17]
When the pilot told me us in thirteen minutes[00:01:17]
He was headin' at the terminal gate[00:01:19]
Swing low sweet chariot[00:01:22]
Come down easy[00:01:23]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:01:24]
Cut your engines and cool your wings[00:01:27]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:01:29]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:01:32]
Tidewater four ten o nine[00:01:34]
Tell the folks back home[00:01:37]
This is the promised land callin'[00:01:38]
And the poor boy's on the line[00:01:39]
Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte[00:01:55]
Flying over to the golden state[00:01:57]
Oh[00:02:00]
When the pilot told me us in thirteen minutes[00:02:00]
He was headin' at the terminal gate[00:02:02]
Swing low sweet chariot[00:02:05]
Come down easy[00:02:06]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:07]
Cut your engines and cool your wings[00:02:10]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:12]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:02:15]
Tidewater four ten o nine[00:02:17]
Tell the folks back home[00:02:20]
This is the promised land callin'[00:02:21]
And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:22]
Yeah yeah yeah[00:02:29]
