[00:05:22] Promised Land [Live at The Spectrum, Philadelphia 4/6/82

[00:05:22] I left my home in norfolk virginia, california on my mind.

[00:05:22] Straddled that greyhound, it rode me past raleigh, and on across caroline.

[00:05:22] Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill, and we never was a minute late.

[00:05:22] We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown, rollin cross the georgia state.

[00:05:22] Had motor trouble it turned into a struggle, half way cross alabam,

[00:05:22] The hound broke down left us all stranded in downtown birmingham.

[00:05:22] Straight off bought me a through train ticket, right across mississippi clean

[00:05:22] And I was on the midnight flyer out of birmingham

[00:05:22] Smoking into new orleans.

[00:05:22] Somebody help me get out of louisiana

[00:05:22] Just help me get to houston town.

[00:05:22] People are there who care a little bout me

[00:05:22] And they won't let the poor boy down.

[00:05:22] Sure as she bore me, she bought me a silk suit, put luggage in my hands,

[00:05:22] And I woke up high over albuquerque

[00:05:22] On a jet to the promised land.

[00:05:22] Workin on a t-bone steak a la carte,

[00:05:22] Flying over to the golden state;

[00:05:22] When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:05:22] Wed be headin in the terminal gate.

[00:05:22] Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy

[00:05:22] Taxi to the terminal zone;

[00:05:22] Cut your engines, cool your wings,

[00:05:22] And let me make it to the telephone.

[00:05:22] Los angeles give me norfolk virginia,

[00:05:22] Tidewater four ten on nine

[00:05:22] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin

[00:05:22] And the poor boys on the line.
