Lyrics Promised Land (Live in Concert) - James Taylor
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
