《The Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:00] The Promised Land (乐土) - Johnnie Allan

[00:00:06] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia

[00:00:08] California on my mind

[00:00:11] I straddled that Greyhound

[00:00:13] And rode into Raleigh

[00:00:14] And on across Caroline

[00:00:17] We Stopped in Charlotte we bypassed Rock Hill

[00:00:20] And we never was a minute late

[00:00:22] Ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown

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

[00:00:28] Right away I bought me a through train ticket

[00:00:30] Ridin' cross Mississippi clean

[00:00:34] I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:00:36] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:00:39] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:00:42] Help me get to Houston town

[00:00:45] There are some folks who care a little bout me

[00:00:47] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:13] Workin' on a t-bone steak à la carte

[00:01:16] Flying over to the golden state

[00:01:19] The pilot told me in thirteen minutes

[00:01:21] Wed be headin' in the terminal gate

[00:01:24] Slow down chariot come down easy

[00:01:27] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:01:30] Cut your engines cool your wings

[00:01:33] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:01:36] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:01:38] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:01:41] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

[00:01:44] The poor boy is on the line

[00:02:10] Workin' on a t-bone steak à la carte

[00:02:12] Flying over to the golden state

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

[00:02:18] Wed be headin' in the terminal gate

[00:02:21] Slow down chariot come down easy

[00:02:24] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:02:27] Cut your engines cool your wings

[00:02:29] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:33] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:02:35] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:02:38] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

[00:02:41] The poor boy is on the line
