Promised Land - Chuck Berry[00:00:00]

Written by：Chuck Berry[00:00:01]

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia[00:00:03]

California on my mind[00:00:06]

Straddled that Greyhound rode him past Raleigh[00:00:08]

On across Caroline[00:00:11]

Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed rock hill[00:00:14]

And we never was a minute late[00:00:17]

We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown[00:00:19]

Rollin' 'cross the Georgia state[00:00:22]

We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:25]

Half way 'cross Alabam[00:00:28]

And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded[00:00:31]

In downtown Birmingham[00:00:33]

Straight off I bought me a through train ticket[00:00:48]

Ridin' 'cross Mississippi clean[00:00:51]

And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:00:53]

Smoking into New Orleans[00:00:57]

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:00:59]

Just help me get to Houston town[00:01:02]

There's people there who care a little 'bout me[00:01:05]

And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:08]

Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit[00:01:11]

Put luggage in my hands[00:01:14]

And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:16]

On a jet to the promised land[00:01:19]

Workin' on a T bone steak a la carte[00:01:34]

Flying over to the[00:01:36]

Golden State[00:01:38]

The pilot told me in thirteen minutes[00:01:40]

We'd be headin' in the terminal gate[00:01:42]

Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:01:46]

Taxi to the terminal zone[00:01:49]

Cut your engines cool your wings[00:01:51]

And let me make it to the telephone[00:01:54]

Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia[00:01:57]

Tidewater four ten O nine[00:02:00]

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'[00:02:03]

And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:05]
