《The Promised Land》歌词

[00:00:00] The Promised Land (乐土) - Dave Edmunds

[00:00:13] Left my home in norfolk virginia

[00:00:15] California on my mind

[00:00:18] Straddled that greyhound rode him past raleigh

[00:00:21] On across caroline

[00:00:24] Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill

[00:00:27] And we never was a minute late

[00:00:29] We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown

[00:00:32] Rollin' 'cross the georgia state

[00:00:35] We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle

[00:00:38] Half way 'cross alabam

[00:00:41] And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded

[00:00:44] In downtown birmingham

[00:01:10] Straight off I bought me a through train ticket

[00:01:12] Ridin' cross mississippi clean

[00:01:15] And I was on that midnight flier out of birmingham

[00:01:18] Smoking into new orleans

[00:01:21] Somebody help me get out of louisiana

[00:01:24] Just help me get to houston town

[00:01:26] There's people there who care a little 'bout me

[00:01:29] And they won't let the poor boy down

[00:01:32] Sure as you're born they bought me a silk suit

[00:01:35] Put luggage in my hands

[00:01:38] And I woke up high over albuquerque

[00:01:41] On a jet to the promised land

[00:01:56] Workin' on a t bone steak a la carte

[00:01:58] Flying over to the golden state

[00:02:01] The pilot told me in thirteen minutes

[00:02:04] We'd be headin' in the terminal gate

[00:02:08] Swing low sweet chariot come down easy

[00:02:10] Taxi to the terminal zone

[00:02:13] Cut your engines cool your wings

[00:02:16] And let me make it to the telephone

[00:02:19] Los angeles give me norfolk virginia

[00:02:22] Tidewater four ten o nine

[00:02:25] Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin

[00:02:28] And the poor boy's on the line
