《Promised Land(Live in Veneta， Oregon 8/27/72)》歌词

[00:00:00] Promised Land [Live - 8/27/72 Veneta, Oregon

[00:00:09] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia California on my mind

[00:00:13] Straddled that greyhound it rode me past Raleigh and on across Caroline

[00:00:19] Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed rock hill and we never was a minute late

[00:00:25] We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown rolling cross the Georgia state

[00:00:31] Had motor trouble it turned into a struggle half way cross alabam

[00:00:37] The hound broke down left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham

[00:01:07] Straight off bought me a through train ticket right across Mississippi clean

[00:01:13] And I was on the midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:01:16] Smoking into new Orleans

[00:01:19] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:01:21] Just help me get to Houston Town

[00:01:25] People are there who care a little bout me

[00:01:28] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:31] Sure as she bore me she bought me a silk suit put luggage

[00:01:34] In my hands

[00:01:36] And I woke up high over Albuquerque

[00:01:39] On a jet to the promised land

[00:02:06] Working on a t bone steak a la care

[00:02:09] Flying over to the golden state

[00:02:12] When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:02:15] Wed be heading in the terminal gate

[00:02:18] Swing low sweet chariot come down easy

[00:02:21] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:02:24] Cut your engines cool your wings

[00:02:27] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:30] Los angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:02:33] Tidewater four ten on nine

[00:02:36] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

[00:02:39] And the poor boys on the line
