Lyrics Promised Land - Elvis Presley
Aw,
get
on
it
I
left
my
home
in
Norfolk,
Virginia,
California
on
my
mind
I
straddled
that
Greyhound
and
rode
him
into
Raleigh
and
on
across
Caroline
We
had
motor
trouble
that
turned
into
a
struggle
halfway
across
Alabam'
Well,
that
'hound
broke
down
and
left
us
all
stranded
in
downtown
Birmingham
Right
away,
I
bought
me
a
thorough
train
ticket
right
across
Mississippi
clean
I
was
on
that
midnight
flyer
out
of
Birmingham,
Smokin'
into
New
Orleans
Somebody
help
me
get
out
of
Louisiana,
just
help
me
get
to
Houston
town
There
are
people
there
who
care
a
little
about
me
And
they
won't
let
the
poor
boy
down,
take
it
Sure
as
you're
born,
they
bought
me
a
silk
suit,
put
luggage
in
my
hand
And
I
woke
up
high
over
Albuquerque
on
a
jet
to
the
Promised
Land
A-workin'
on
a
T-bone
steak
à
la
carte,
flyin'
over
to
the
Golden
State
When
the
pilot
told
us
in
13
minutes,
he
would
set
us
at
the
terminal
gate
Swin'
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,
get
me
Norfolk,
Virginia,
Tidewater
4-1009
Tell
the
folks
back
home
this
is
the
Promised
Land
callin'
And
the
poor
boy
is
on
the
line
A-workin'
on
a
T-bone
steak
à
la
carte,
flyin'
over
to
the
Golden
State
When
the
pilot
told
us
in
13
minutes,
he
would
set
us
at
the
terminal
gate
Swin'
low,
chariot,
come
down
easy,

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
4-1009
Tell
the
folks
back
home
this
is
the
Promised
Land
callin'
And
the
poor
boy
is
on
the
line
