G
I left my home in norfolk virginia
C
California on my mind
D
I boarded that greyhound,
G
Rode in into raliegh on across caroline
G
Stopped in charlotte to by pass rockhill
C
We never was a minute late
D
We were ninty miles out of atlanta by sundown
G
Rollin’ out of georgia state
G
We had motor trouble that turned into a struggle
C
Halfway across alabam
D
And that bow broke down
G
And left us stranded in downtown birmingham
G
Right away i bought a through train ticket
C
Got across mississippi clean
D
And i was on that midnight flyer out of birmingham
G
Smokin’ into new orleans
G
Somebody help me get out of louisiana
C
Help me get to houston town

Strum

D
There are people there who care a little ‘bout me
G
And won’t put the poor boy down
G
Georgia born, they bought me a silk suit
C
And put luggage in my hand
D
And woke up high over albuquerque
G
On a jet to the promised land
G
Workin’ on a t-bone ala cartee
C
Flyin’ over to the golden state
D
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
G
He would set us at the terminal gate
G
Swing low chariot, come down easy
C
Taxi to the terminal door
D
Cut your engines and cool your wings
G
And let me make it to the telephone
G
Los angeles, give me norfolk virginia
C
Tidewater four ten o nine
D
Tell all the folks back home

It’s the promised land callin’
G
And the poor boy is on the line

On a rattlesnake speedway in the utah desert
I pick up my money and head back into town
Driving cross the waynesboro county line
I got the radio on and i’m just killing time
Working all day in my daddy’s garage
Driving all night chasing some mirage
Pretty soon little girl i’m gonna take charge

The dogs on main street howl `cause they understand
If i could take one moment into my hands
Mister i ain’t a boy no i’m a man
And i believe in a promised land

I’ve done my best to live the right way
I get up every morning and go to work each day
But your eyes go blind and your blood runs cold
Sometimes i feel so weak i just want to explode
Explode and tear this town apart
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart
Find somebody itching for something to start

The dogs on main street…

There’s a dark cloud rising from the desert floor
I packed my bags and i’m heading straight into the storm
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
That ain’t got the faith to stand its ground
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted

The dogs on main street…

They came from nowhere, with nowhere else to go
They came with nothing but pockets full of dreams
They came in hope, looking for the promised land
They brought their faith, believing in their hearts
They brought their children, searching for a new start
They came looking for the promised land

And all the rumours said it was heaven there
And all the signs were pointing to a new world
Someway somehow there’s got to be… a place for us,
Somewhere… there’s got to be

A better way, a new beginning, a second chance
…it’s all in the new world
Equality, liberty, freedom
…it’s all in the new world
A better life, a brighter future, the right to believe
…it’s all in the new world
For you and me, it’s going to be… freedom
…it’s all in the new world

Through the ages, all through history
They braved the deserts, sailed the raging sea
And left their homes, looking for the promised land
They brought their culture, pride and prejudice
All they wanted was a reason to exist
And still they come, looking for the promised land

And all the rumours said it was heaven there
And all the signs were pointing to a new world
Someway somehow there s got to be… a place for us
Somewhere… there’s got to be

A better way, a new beginning, a second chance
…it’s all in the new world
Equality, liberty, freedom
…it’s all in the new world
A better life, a brighter future, the right to believe
…it’s all in the new world
For you and me, it’s going to be… freedom
…it’s all in the new world

THE PROMISED LAND

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

And every moment I’m awake

I pray the Lord my soul to take.

Now as I walk down this winding road,

I need you to lighten the load.

Hey, now, take my hand,

I’ll lead you to the Promised Land.

One cold December,

So long ago,

We watched the snow cling to the trees.

Your lips were so warm

As you kissed my hand

We would have sailed the seven seas.

But when you walked away,

Said you could not stay,

And love lay dying like a wounded dove.

But if you come back now,

I will take your hand

And lead you to the Promised Land.

Are you feeling lonely?

Do you need a friend?

Well, is the pain too much to stand?

The seeds of love

Are sown inside

And the memories of our lives will guide our hand.

So as you fly away

I will sing the day

And meet you in the Promised Land.

Take my hand to the Promised Land.

But when you walked away,

Said you could not stay,

And love lay bleeding like a wounded dove.

But if it needs to be

Then I will set you free.

And meet you in the Promised Land.

Take my hand to the Promised Land.

Now I lay me down to sleep,

I pray the Lord my soul to keep.

And every moment I’m awake

I pray the Lord your soul to take.

I left my home in norfolk, virginia, california on my mind
I straddled that greyhound and rode him into raleigh, and on across caroline
I had motor trouble that turned into a struggle, halfway across alabama
And that ‘hound broke down and left me all stranded in downtown birmingham

Right away i bought me a through train ticket, ridin’ across mississippi clean
And i was on the midnight flyer out of birmingham, smokin’ into new orleans

Somebody helped me get out of louisiana, just to help me get to houston town
There are people there who care a little ‘bout me
And they won’t let a poor boy down

Sure as you’re born, they bought me a silk suit, they put luggage in my hand
And i woke up high over albuquerque on a jet to the promised land

Workin’ on a t-bone steak, i had a party flyin’ over to the golden state
When the pilot told me in thirteen minutes
He would get us at the terminal zone

Swing low, chariot, come down easy, taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings, and let me make it to the telephone
Los angeles, give me norfolk, virginia, tidewater 41009
And tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin’
And the poor boy’s on the line
(repeats 2x)

And tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin’
And their big boy’s on the line

Left my home in norfolk, virginia
California on my mind
Straddled that greyhound
And rode it into raleigh
And on across caroline
We stopped in charlotte
But we bypassed rockhill
We never was a minute late
We were ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown
Rolling out of georgia state

Had some motor trouble
That turned into a struggle
Half way ‘cross alabam
That hound broke and left us
All stranded in downtown birmingham

So right away i bought me a through train ticket
Right across mississippi clean
And i was on that special flyer
Out of birmingham
Smoking into new orleans

Someone’s got to help me get out of louisiana
Just to help me get to houston town
There’s an uncle there who cares a little about me
And he won’t let the poor boy down

Sure as you’re born
He bought me a silk suit
Put some luggage in my hand
And i woke up high over albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land

Working on a t-bone steak
A la carte
Flying over to the golden state
When the pilot told us that in thirteen minutes
He would have us at the terminal gate

Swing down chariot
Come down easy
Taxi to the terminal dome
Cut your engines
And cool your wings
And let me make it to the telephone

Los angeles give me norfolk, virginia
Tidewater four-ten-o-nine
Tell the folks back home
This is the promised land calling
And the poor boy is on the line
