《Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:00] Promised Land - Chuck Berry (查克·贝里)

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

[00:00:09] California on my mind

[00:00:12] Straddled that Greyhound

[00:00:14] Rode him past Raleigh

[00:00:15] On across Caroline

[00:00:18] Stopped in Charlotte

[00:00:20] And bypassed Rock Hill

[00:00:21] And we never was a minute late

[00:00:24] We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown

[00:00:27] Rollin' 'cross the Georgia state

[00:00:30] We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle

[00:00:33] Half way 'cross Alabam

[00:00:36] And that 'hound broke down

[00:00:38] And left us all stranded

[00:00:39] In downtown Birmingham

[00:01:06] Run away I bought me a through train ticket

[00:01:09] Ridin' cross Mississippi clean

[00:01:12] And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:01:16] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:01:18] 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

[00:01:31] Sure as you're born

[00:01:32] They bought me a silk suit

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

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

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