Meat Loaf - The Promised Land Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 wont let a poor boy down
  • Sure as youre 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 boys on the line
  • (repeats 2x)
  • And tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin
  • And their big boys on the line
