Lyrics The Promised Land - Live - Bruce Springsteen

One two three

On a rattlesnake speedway in the Utah desert
I pick up my money, head back into town
Driving cross the Waynesboro county line
I got the radio on and it's 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

Well, 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, go to work each day
But your eyes go blind, your blood runs cold
Sometimes I feel so weak I just wanna' explode
Explode and tear this old town apart
Take a knife and cut this pain from my heart
Try and find somebody, itching for something to start

Well, 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

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 it's 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 broken hearted

Well, 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
And I believe in a promised land
And I believe in a promised land (song)

I say yeah
