《Promised Land》歌词

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

[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

[00:00:20] We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown

[00:00:23] Rollin' 'cross the georgia state

[00:00:26] We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle

[00:00:29] Half way 'cross alabam

[00:00:32] And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded

[00:00:34] In downtown birmingham

[00:00:49] Straight off i bought me a through train ticket

[00:00:51] Ridin' cross mississippi clean

[00:00:54] And i was on that midnight flyer out of birmingham

[00:00:57] Smoking into new orleans

[00:01:00] Somebody help me get out of louisiana

[00:01:03] Just help me get to houston town

[00:01:06] There's people there who care a little 'bout me

[00:01:09] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:12] Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit

[00:01:15] Put luggage in my hands

[00:01:17] And i woke up high over albuquerque

[00:01:20] On a jet to the promised land

[00:01:35] Workin' on a t-bone steak a la carte

[00:01:38] Flying over to the golden state

[00:01:41] The pilot told me in thirteen minutes

[00:01:44] We'd be headin' in the terminal gate

[00:01:47] Swing low sweet chariot come down easy

[00:01:50] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:01:53] Cut your engines cool your wings

[00:01:55] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:01:59] Los angeles give me norfolk virginia

[00:02:01] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:02:04] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin'

[00:02:07] And the poor boy's on the line
