paroles de chanson The Promised Land - Dave Edmunds
I
left
my
home
in
Norfolk
Virginia,
California
on
my
mind.
We
straddled
that
Greyhound,
rode
him
into
Raleigh,
On
across
Caroline.
We
stopped
at
Charlotte
and
bypassed
Rock
Hill,
We
never
was
a
minute
late.
And
we
was
ninety
miles
out
of
Atlanta
by
sundown,
Rollin'
outa
Georgia
state.
We
had
motor
trouble
it
turned
into
a
struggle,
Half
way
'cross
Alabam,
When
that
'hound
broke
down
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
midnight
flyer
outa
Birmingham
Smoking
into
New
Orleans.
Somebody
help
me
get
out
of
Louisiana
Just
help
me
get
to
Houston
town.
Well
there
are
people
there
who
care
a
little
'bout
me
And
they
won't
let
the
poor
boy
down.
Sure
as
you're
born,
they
bought
me
a
silk
suit,
Put
luggage
in
my
hands,
And
I
woke
up
high
over
Albuquerque
On
a
jet
to
the
promised
land.
Workin'
on
a
T-bone
steak
a
la
carte
Flying
over
to
the
Golden
State;
When
the
pilot
told
us
in
thirteen
minutes
He
would
set
us
at
the
terminal
gate.
Swing
low
chariot,
come
down
easy
Taxi
to
the
terminal
zone;
Cut
your
engines,
an
cool
your
wings,
And
let
me
make
it
to
the
telephone.
Los
Angeles
give
me
Norfolk
Virginia,
Dial
forty
four
ten
O
nine
And
tell
the
folks
back
home
this
is
the
promised
land
Callin'
And
the
poor
boy's
on
the
line.
