The Promised Land (2001 Digital Remaster) - The Band[00:00:00]

I left my home in Norfolk Virginia[00:00:07]

California on my mind[00:00:10]

I boarded that greyhound[00:00:13]

Rode in into raliegh on across caroline[00:00:15]

Stopped in charlotte to by pass rockhill[00:00:19]

We never was a minute late[00:00:22]

We were ninty miles out of atlanta by sundown[00:00:25]

Rollin' out of Georgia state[00:00:28]

We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle[00:00:31]

Halfway across alabam[00:00:34]

And that bow broke down[00:00:37]

And left us stranded in downtown Birmingham[00:00:38]

Right away I bought a through train ticket[00:00:55]

Got across Mississippi clean[00:00:58]

And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham[00:01:01]

Smokin' into New Orleans[00:01:04]

Somebody help me get out of Louisiana[00:01:07]

Help me get to houston town[00:01:10]

There are people there who care a little 'bout me[00:01:12]

And won't put the poor boy down[00:01:16]

Georgia born they bought me a silk suit[00:01:19]

And put luggage in my hand[00:01:22]

And woke up high over albuquerque[00:01:25]

On a jet to the promised land[00:01:27]

Workin' on a tbone ala cartee[00:01:54]

Flyin' over to the golden state[00:01:57]

When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes[00:02:00]

He would set us at the terminal gate[00:02:03]

Swing low chariot come down easy[00:02:06]

Taxi to the terminal door[00:02:09]

Cut your engines and cool your wings[00:02:12]

And let me make it to the telephone[00:02:14]

Los angeles give me norfolk Virginia[00:02:18]

Tidewater four ten o nine[00:02:20]

Tell all the folks back home[00:02:23]

It's the promised land callin'[00:02:25]

And the poor boy is on the line[00:02:26]
