Promised Land - Grateful Dead[00:00:00]
I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind[00:00:28]
Straddled that Greyhound it rode me past Raleigh[00:00:35]
And on across Caroline[00:00:37]
Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill[00:00:40]
We never was a minute late[00:00:43]
We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown[00:00:47]
Rolling cross the Georgia state[00:00:50]
We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle[00:00:53]
Half way across Alabam[00:00:56]
The ahound broke down left us all stranded[00:00:59]
In downtown Birmingham[00:01:02]
Well we straight off bought me a through train ticket[00:01:31]
Right across Mississippi clean[00:01:33]
And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:01:36]
Smoking into New Orleans[00:01:40]
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:43]
Just help me get to Houston town[00:01:45]
People are there who care a little about me[00:01:49]
And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:52]
Sure as she bore me she bought me a silk suit[00:01:55]
Put luggage in my hands[00:01:58]
And I woke up high over Albuquerque[00:02:01]
On a jet to the promised land[00:02:04]
Working on a Tbone steak a la carte[00:02:32]
Flying over to the Golden State[00:02:34]
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:38]
We'd be heading in the terminal gate[00:02:41]
Swing low sweet chariot come down easy[00:02:44]
Taxi to the terminal zone[00:02:47]
Cut your engines cool your wings[00:02:51]
And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:53]
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia tide water four ten on nine[00:02:57]
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling[00:03:03]
And the poor boy's on the line[00:03:06]
