lirik lagu the promised land – the band
g
i left my home in norfolk virginia
c
california on my mind
d
i boarded that greyhound,
g
rode in into raliegh on across caroline
g
stopped in charlotte to by p-ss rockhill
c
we never was a minute late
d
we were ninty miles out of atlanta by sundown
g
rollin’ out of georgia state
g
we had motor trouble that turned into a struggle
c
halfway across alabam
d
and that bow broke down
g
and left us stranded in downtown birmingham
g
right away i bought a through train ticket
c
got across mississippi clean
d
and i was on that midnight flyer out of birmingham
g
smokin’ into new orleans
g
somebody help me get out of louisiana
c
help me get to houston town
strum
1 & 2 & 3 & 4

d
there are people there who care a little ’bout me
g
and won’t put the poor boy down
g
georgia born, they bought me a silk suit
c
and put luggage in my hand
d
and woke up high over albuquerque
g
on a jet to the promised land
g
workin’ on a t-bone ala cartee
c
flyin’ over to the golden state
d
when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
g
he would set us at the terminal gate
g
swing low chariot, come down easy
c
taxi to the terminal door
d
cut your engines and cool your wings
g
and let me make it to the telephone
g
los angeles, give me norfolk virginia
c
tidewater four ten o nine
d
tell all the folks back home
it’s the promised land callin’
g
and the poor boy is on the line
