Promised Land - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia [00:00:09]
California on my mind [00:00:12]
Straddled that Greyhound [00:00:15]
It rode me past Raleigh [00:00:16]
And on across Caroline [00:00:18]
Stopped in Charlotte[00:00:21]
And bypassed Rock Hill [00:00:22]
And we never was a minute late [00:00:24]
We was ninety miles[00:00:27]
Out of Atlanta by sundown [00:00:28]
Rollin' 'cross the Georgia state [00:00:30]
Had motor trouble[00:00:33]
It turned into a struggle [00:00:34]
Half way 'cross Alabam [00:00:36]
The 'hound broke[00:00:39]
Down left us all stranded[00:00:40]
In downtown Birmingham [00:00:41]
Straight off bought me[00:01:19]
A through train ticket [00:01:20]
Right across Mississippi clean[00:01:22]
Smoking into New Orleans [00:01:28]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:31]
Just help me get to Houston town [00:01:34]
People are there who care a little about me[00:01:37]
And they won't let the poor boy down [00:01:39]
Sure as she bore me [00:01:42]
She bought me a silk suit [00:01:44]
Put luggage in my hands [00:01:45]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:01:48]
On a jet to the promised land [00:01:51]
Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte [00:02:29]
Flying over to the Golden State;[00:02:31]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:34]
We'd be headin' in the terminal gate [00:02:37]
Swing low sweet chariot [00:02:40]
Come down easy[00:02:41]
Taxi to the terminal zone;[00:02:43]
Cut your engines cool your wings [00:02:46]
And let me make it to the telephone [00:02:48]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia [00:02:52]
Tidewater four ten on nine[00:02:54]
Tell the folks back home[00:02:57]
This is the promised land calling[00:02:59]
And the poor boy's on the line[00:03:00]
