lirik lagu promised land (live at the palladium, nyc, april 30, 1977) – grateful dead
left my home in norfolk, virginia
california on my mind
straddled that greyhound, it rode me past raleigh
and on across caroline
stopped in charlotte and byp-ssed rock hill
and we never was a minute late
we was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown
rollin’ ‘cross the georgia state
had motor trouble it turned into a struggle
halfway ‘cross alabam’
the ‘hound broke down
left us all stranded in downtown birmingham
[instrumental break]
straight off bought me a through train ticket
right across mississippi clean
and i was on the midnight flyer out of birmingham
smoking into new orleans
somebody help me get out of louisiana
just help me get to houston town
’cause people are there who care a little about me
they won’t let the poor boy down
sure as she you’re born, she bought me a silk suit
put luggage in my hands
and i woke up high over albuquerque
on a jet to the promised land
[instrumental]
workin’ on a t-bone steak a la carte
and flying over to the golden state
the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
we’d be headin’ in the terminal gate
swing low sweet chariot, come down easy
taxi to the terminal zone
cut your engines, cool your wings
and let me make it to the telephone
los angeles, give me norfolk, virginia
tidewater four ten oh nine
tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin’
and the poor boy’s on the line
thanks folks, we’re gonna take a short break
y’all can do whatever you want to
