《Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:01] Promised Land - Grateful Dead (感恩而死)

[00:00:02] Written by：Lindsey/Verges/James

[00:00:04] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia

[00:00:06] California on my mind

[00:00:09] Straddled that Greyhound rode him past Raleigh

[00:00:12] On across Caroline

[00:00:15] Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill

[00:00:18] And we never was a minute late

[00:00:21] We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown

[00:00:25] Rollin' 'cross the Georgia state

[00:00:28] We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle

[00:00:30] Half way 'cross Alabam

[00:00:34] And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded

[00:00:36] In downtown Birmingham

[00:01:07] Straight off I bought me a through train ticket

[00:01:10] Ridin' cross Mississippi clean

[00:01:13] And I was on that midnight flier out of Birmingham

[00:01:16] Smoking into New Orleans

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

[00:01:22] Just help me get to Houston town

[00:01:25] There's people there who care a little 'bout me

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

[00:01:32] Sure as you're born

[00:01:33] They bought me a silk suit

[00:01:34] Put luggage in my hands

[00:01:37] And I woke up high over Albuquerque

[00:01:40] On a jet to the promised land

[00:02:11] Workin' on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:02:13] Flying over to the Golden State

[00:02:16] The pilot told me in thirteen minutes

[00:02:19] We'd be headin' in the terminal gate

[00:02:23] Swing low sweet chariot come down easy

[00:02:26] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:02:29] Cut your engines cool your wings

[00:02:31] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:35] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:02:37] Tidewater four ten O nine

[00:02:41] Tell the folks back home

[00:02:42] This is the promised land callin'

[00:02:43] And the poor boy's on the line
