《Promised Land(Take 4)》歌词

所属专辑: Elvis At Stax 歌手: Elvis Presley 时长: 02:54

[00:02:54] I left my home in Norfolk Virginia

[00:02:54] California on my mind

[00:02:54] I straddled that Greyhound

[00:02:54] And rode into Raleigh

[00:02:54] And on across Caroline

[00:02:54] We had motor trouble that turn into a struggle

[00:02:54] Halfway across Alabam'

[00:02:54] And that hound broke down and left us all stranded

[00:02:54] In downtown Birmingham

[00:02:54] Right away I brought me a through train ticket

[00:02:54] Ridin' across Mississippi clean

[00:02:54] And I was on that midnight flyer out of Birmingham

[00:02:54] Smoking into New Orleans

[00:02:54] Somebody help me get out of Louisiana

[00:02:54] Just to help me get to Houston Town

[00:02:54] There are people there who care a little about me

[00:02:54] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:02:54] Sure as you're born brought me a silk suit

[00:02:54] Put luggage in my hand

[00:02:54] And I woke up high over Alberquerque

[00:02:54] On a jet to the promised land

[00:02:54] Working on a T-bone steak a la carte

[00:02:54] Flying over to the golden state

[00:02:54] Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes

[00:02:54] He would set us at the terminal gate

[00:02:54] Swing low chariot come down easy

[00:02:54] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:02:54] Cut your engines and cool your wings

[00:02:54] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:54] Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia

[00:02:54] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:02:54] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land calling

[00:02:54] And the poor boy is on the line
