The Promised Land (乐土) - Dave Edmunds[00:00:00]

Left my home in norfolk virginia[00:00:13]

California on my mind[00:00:15]

Straddled that greyhound rode him past raleigh[00:00:18]

On across caroline[00:00:21]

Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill[00:00:24]

And we never was a minute late[00:00:27]

We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown[00:00:29]

Rollin' 'cross the georgia state[00:00:32]

We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:35]

Half way 'cross alabam[00:00:38]

And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded[00:00:41]

In downtown birmingham[00:00:44]

Straight off I bought me a through train ticket[00:01:10]

Ridin' cross mississippi clean[00:01:12]

And I was on that midnight flier out of birmingham[00:01:15]

Smoking into new orleans[00:01:18]

Somebody help me get out of louisiana[00:01:21]

Just help me get to houston town[00:01:24]

There's people there who care a little 'bout me[00:01:26]

And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:29]

Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit[00:01:32]

Put luggage in my hands[00:01:35]

And I woke up high over albuquerque[00:01:38]

On a jet to the promised land[00:01:41]

Workin' on a t bone steak a la carte[00:01:56]

Flying over to the golden state[00:01:58]

The pilot told me in thirteen minutes[00:02:01]

We'd be headin' in the terminal gate[00:02:04]

Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:08]

Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:10]

Cut your engines cool your wings[00:02:13]

And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:16]

Los angeles give me norfolk virginia[00:02:19]

Tidewater four ten o nine[00:02:22]

Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin[00:02:25]

And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:28]
