The Promised Land - Chuck Berry (查克·贝里)[00:00:00]

Written by：Bobby Caldwell/Chuck Berry/Paul Gordon[00:00:01]

I left my home in norfolk virginia[00:00:03]

California on my mind[00:00:05]

Straddled that greyhound rode him past raleigh[00:00:09]

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[00:00:50]

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

Smoking into new orleans[00:00:56]

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

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

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

And they won't let the poor boy down[00:01:07]

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

Put luggage in my hands[00:01:13]

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 golden state;[00:01:36]

The pilot told me in thirteen minutes[00:01:39]

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;[00:01:48]

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[00:01:59]

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

Land callin'[00:02:05]

And the poor boy's on the line[00:02:06]
